-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 large flour tortillas (flavored or regular)
2 slices Lightlife Smart Deli Slices (any flavor)
1/4 medium red onion -- sliced
5 large mushrooms -- halved
1 jalapeno -- sliced vertically
2 large tomatillos -- halved
1/4 cup Consorzio Tropical Grill 10 Minute Marinade
1/3 cup Monterey jack cheese or Cheddar Cheese -- or other favorite
1/4 cup cilantro -- coarsely chopped
2 dollops fat-free sour cream (1 each) -- for garnish
Place red onion, jalapeno and tomatillos in small bowl.
Pour 1/2 of the marinade over it and mix to coat; set aside.
Place mushrooms in another small bowl and pour the rest of the marinade over it and mix to coat; set aside.
Preheat the George Foreman Grill.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. When hot, place tortilla in pan and heat until soft and then flip over.
When soft on other side, take out and do the same with the other tortilla. Place in some tin foil and set aside.
When grill is ready, drain the onion mixture and place on the grill. Close and cook for 3 minutes.
When 3 minutes is up, open and move the onion mixture to the top of the grill surface.
Drain the mushrooms and place mushrooms right under it. Close and cook for another 2 minutes. When done, open and move up a bit and place the 2 slices of Smart Deli on.
Close and cook for 2 minutes until grill marks appear.
Turn off grill.
Cut the tomatillo pieces in half.
Take the slices of "deli meat" off the grill. Take the mushrooms off the grill and place on one of the tortillas.
Take the onion mixture off the grill and scatter over the mushrooms.
Slice the "deli meat" into strips and place on top of the onion mixture.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese and cilantro.
Cover with the other tortilla.
Preheat the skillet again. When hot, spray with a bit of cooking spray and place quesadilla in pan.
Cook for 3 minutes, check for golden brown, if not cook for another minute or so. Then carefully
flip the quesadilla over (if you have to use 2 spatulas) and cook until brown underneath.
When brown, take out of pan. Cut in quarters.
Serve 2 quarters on each plate. Garnish with fat free sour cream and some more chopped cilantro. Serve immediately, either as an appetizer, lunch or light dinner.
