How to Make Quesadillas With Roasted Poblanos And Onions Rajas

  1. Preheat oven to 150°F (lowest setting) and place a baking sheet inside.
  2. If you haven't already, roast and peel 2 large poblano peppers. Discard stems and seeds.
  3. Slice the roasted poblanos into 1/4-inch strips and set aside.
  4. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a 10- or 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly browned (3-5 minutes).
  6. Add the poblano strips to the skillet. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are heated through (about 2 minutes).
  7. Transfer the poblano and onion mixture to a plate. Wipe the skillet clean.
  8. Heat 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
  9. Place one 8-inch flour tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese over one half of the tortilla. Top with 1/4 of the poblano-onion mixture and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro.
  10. When the tortilla is toasty and lightly browned on the bottom (about 2-3 minutes), fold in half and press with a spatula to flatten and melt the cheese.
  11. Transfer the quesadilla to the preheated baking sheet in the oven to keep warm.
  12. Repeat steps 8-11 to make 3 more quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately with sour cream on the side.
