Confetti Quesadillas
12 soft corn tortillas
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim Colby cheese
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels or black beans
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
1 red bell pepper, finely minced
1 jalapeño pepper, finely minced
Cilantro Yogurt "Sour Cream":
2 cups plain nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup finely minced cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat large skillet over low heat. Line up six tortillas.
Divide cheese,
corn, cilantro and peppers between the tortillas, then
cover each with a
second tortilla. Place a tortilla on the dry skillet
or grill and warm until
cheese is melted and tortilla is slightly golden, about
three minutes. Flip
and cook other side until golden, about one minute.
Cut into wedges and
serve. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Serve each
wedge with a dollop
of cilantro yogurt "sour cream."
Makes six.
Cilantro Yogurt "Sour Cream"
Straining yogurt gives you a no-fat version of sour
cream with a light tang
that blends nicely with cilantro. Try it with chili
and other spicy dishes as
well.
Line a large strainer with a coffee filter or paper
towel and place over a
mixing bowl. Pour in yogurt and let sit until some of
the liquid has drained
away and the yogurt is the consistency of sour cream,
about one hour.
Transfer to small mixing bowl; stir in cilantro and
salt.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
