Ingredients:
- 1 cans - 7 oz. chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
- 1 bunches - broccolini or broccoli tops
- 2 tablespoons - vegetable oil
- 1 - red bell pepper seeded, quartered and thinly sliced
- 1 - white or yellow onion quartered, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves - garlic sliced
- 1 - tomato on the vine seeded, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cups - cilantro tops
- - pepper
- - natural olive oil cooking spray
- 4 - large flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups - shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1 1/2 cups - shredded smoked cheddar cheese
Directions:
In a blender or food processor, puree chipotles in adobo. Reserve 3 tablespoons for this recipe. Place the rest in a resealable plastic freezer bag, press to the bottom of the bag, roll up, label and freeze for the next time you need chipotle paste.
Prepare a large bowl of ice water. In a large skillet, bring a few inches of water to a boil. Salt the water, add broccolini and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the ice water. Drain; thinly slice on an angle.
In a large skillet, hea little oil over high heat. Add broccolini, pepper and onion; stir-fry until pepper and onion are crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons chipotle paste, garlic, tomato and cilantro. Toss until tomato softens, 1 to 2 minutes more; season with salt and pepper.
Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high. Add 1 tortilla to the skillet and cook until browned in spots, about 1 minute. Turn over, top half the tortilla with some of the cheese (about 1/2 cup), a quarter of the veggies and more cheese (about 1/4 cup). Fold tortilla in half and cook until tortilla is crispy and cheese melts, turning once, 1 to 2 minutes.
Repeat with remaining tortillas, cheese and vegetables. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges.
