Roasted Poblano Quesadillas

Roasted poblano peppers bring a delicious smoky flavor to the classic quesadilla, elevating this simple dish to a whole new level. Poblano peppers are known for their mild heat and rich flavor, making them a perfect choice for adding depth to your quesadillas.

To make roasted poblano quesadillas, start by charring the poblano peppers under the broiler or directly over a gas flame until the skins are blackened. This process not only imparts a smoky flavor to the peppers but also makes it easier to remove the skin. Once charred, place the peppers in a sealed plastic bag for a few minutes to steam, then peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and slice the peppers into thin strips.

Next, heat a skillet over medium heat and place a tortilla in the pan. Layer shredded cheese of your choice (such as Monterey Jack or cheddar) on one half of the tortilla, then top with the roasted poblano strips. Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Serve the roasted poblano quesadillas hot, with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or fresh cilantro. The combination of gooey melted cheese and smoky roasted poblanos wrapped in a crispy tortilla is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.

These flavorful roasted poblano quesadillas make a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a quick lunch, easy dinner, or even a fun appetizer for parties. Try this recipe today and enjoy the wonderful combination of flavors and textures in every bite!
