- In small bowl, with fork, slightly mash black
beans. Stir in scallions, pepper, onion, lime juice,
cilantro, or parsley and garlic. Set aside.
- In lightly greased large skillet, over medium-high
heat, cook 1 tortilla for 15 seconds or until softened;
turn over.
- Spread 1/4 cup bean mixture over half of tortilla;
top with 1/4 cup cheese.
- Fold tortilla in half over filling.
- Cook 2 minutes on each side or until cheese melts.
- Keep warm in 200 degree oven while preparing remaining
quesadillas.
- Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges to serve.
|
- Deep fry the corn tortilla wedges until they
are crisp and golden. Remove from the oil, drain
on absorbent toweling, and let cool.
- Puree the cheese and chili powder together. Fold
in the poblano chile and sun-dried tomatoes. Spread
this mixture evenly on each of the tortilla wedges.
Place on a baking sheet and reserve until needed.
- About 5 minutes before service, warm the chips
in the oven just long enough to melt the cheese.
- While the chips are warming, brush the shrimp
with olive oil that has been infused with the crushed
garlic. Season with salt and pepper, grill until
translucent, and top each tortilla chip with a shrimp.
