Fusion Blue Cheese Quesadillas

These delicious blue cheese quesadillas are the perfect choice for appetizers at your next party, or just a great snack. The caramelized onions have won over even the most ardent onion haters, and the added flavors of rosemary, thyme, and blue cheese make a traditional Mexican recipe something a little different. In Mexico, this variation of quesadillas is also called sincronizada.

Pair these tasty tortilla triangles with a fruity Zinfandel for the best results. Serve hot or at room temperature, though warm is usually more appealing. Unbaked quesadillas can be assembled, then tightly plastic wrapped and refrigerated over night for cooking the next day. That can help you save time if you have a busy special occasion coming up.

 

Something Different - Blue Cheese Quesadillas

 
Ingredients -
 
8 skinless chicken thighs
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon rosemary, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt to taste
3 tablespoons butter
2 large onions, sliced thinly
2 tablespoons thyme, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
pinch of white sugar
black pepper to taste
12 six inch flour tortillas
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
 
Preparation:
 

Toss chicken thighs with two tablespoons of oil, garlic, rosemary, and salt. Cover and allow the chicken to rest for thirty minutes at room temperature, or in the refrigerator for four hours or more.

Melt butter and remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large, deep skillet. Add thyme, vinegar, sugar, onions, and pepper. Cook over a low heat, stirring periodically, until onions have softened. Add water on occasion to keep onions from drying out.

Grill chicken over moderately high heat in a gas, charcoal, or electric grill until cooked through and lightly charred. Allow to cool, and then pull from bones and shred.

On two large baking sheets, arrange six of the tortillas and spoon onions onto each. Top with chicken and blue cheese, then cover with remaining tortillas and press to flatten. Bake for six minutes, or until tortillas are toasted and golden. Serve individually, or cut into wedges.
