If the weather is not that great, though, you may want to grill inside. Now, a gas grill is not your only option, you can also use a griddler, such as the Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler, as it can be opened to convert into a contact grill.
OK, here is your Summertime Grilled Pepper Filled Cheese Quesadillas Recipe
What You Need:
- 2 bell peppers, julienned
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and julienned
- 1 sweet onion, chopped fine
- 2 T of olive oil, divided
- 1 (8 oz.) pkg. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 6 (10 in.) flour tortillas
How to Make It:
- Spray the grill grate lightly with a non stick cooking spray.
- Set the grill for medium hot temperature.
- Place the both types of peppers and the onion into a mixing bowl.
- Pour 1 T of the olive oil over the vegetables and toss to coat well.
- Grill the vegetables, tossing frequently for 7 minutes or until tender.
- Remove the vegetables from the grill and reduce the heat to low or spread out the coals to reduce the flame.
- Coat the tortillas on one side with the remaining oil.
- Spread 1/3 of the vegetable mixture onto 3 of the prepared tortillas.
- Sprinkle the tops evenly with the cheese.
- Place the remaining 3 tortillas over the top of the filled tortillas oil side up.
- Press the tortillas together firmly to seal.
- Place the tortillas onto the grill rack.
- Grill 4 minutes, flip and continue grilling 2 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
These quesadillas make a great appetizer before the big meal. If using as an appetizer you can serve up to 6 people. If you like things heated up add more jalapenos but if you're serving to children the jalapenos can be left out completely.
Another alternative you have, of course, is to prepare these as a starter on the Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler while you prepare your main course on the Weber One Touch Charcoal Grill.
