GRILLED PORTOBELLO AND SUMMER SQUASH QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium high. Brush all of the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
• Place the vegetables on the hot grill and cover. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, flip and continue grilling another 5 to 8 minutes, or until charred and soft. Transfer vegetables to a cutting board and chop into bite sizes.
• Heat a skillet to medium-high and add enough oil to lightly coat the surface.
• Place one large flour tortilla on the hot skillet and sprinkle desired amount of mozarella cheese (I use about 1/4 to 1/3 cup per quesadilla) over the whole tortilla. Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until cheese is mostly melted.
• Layer a generous amount of vegetables over half of the tortilla, then fold tortilla in half. continue cooking until tortilla reaches desired level of crisp. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into pieces. Repeat for remaining ingredients.

GRILLED PORTOBELLO QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium. In a small bowl, whisk together oil and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Brush both sides of mushrooms with oil mixture; starting with stem side up, grill mushrooms until tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp paring knife, 8 to 12 minutes, turning once. Remove from grill; slice 1/2 inch thick.
• Layer one half of each tortilla with cheese, scallions, mushroom slices, and then more cheese, dividing toppings evenly. Fold tortilla over filling; using your hands, carefully transfer filled tortilla to grill. Cook until tortilla is slightly charred and cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with salsa, and garnish with sour cream, if desired.

BARBECUE PORTOBELLO QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Combine barbecue sauce, tomato paste, vinegar and chipotle in a medium bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring, until the onion and mushrooms are beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to the bowl with the barbecue sauce; stir to combine. Wipe out the pan.
• Place tortillas on a work surface. Spread 3 tablespoons cheese on half of each tortilla and top with one-fourth (about 1/2 cup) of the filling. Fold tortillas in half, pressing gently to flatten.
• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in the pan over medium heat. Add 2 quesadillas and cook, turning once, until golden on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve.
