Directions for: Punjabi Quesadillas
Ingredients
2 Tbsp grape seed oil
1 Tbsp chopped ginger
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 Tbsp garam masala
1 tsp Spanish paprika
1 Tbsp coriander seeds, crushed with hand
tsp turmeric
salt and pepper
2 Tbsp tomato paste
2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces
cup plain yogurt
6 whole grain tortillas
grape seed oil for brushing
cup grated mozzarella
Directions
1. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add ginger, garlic and onion. Saute until soft and golden, about 3 minutes. Add spices and toast for 30 seconds, turn down heat and then add tomato paste, stirring well to incorporate it. Add the chicken pieces, stir well to coat and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes, until chicken is almost cooked through. Add the yogurt and continue to cook until the chicken is done, about 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 400F.
3. Place a tortilla on a baking sheet and brush it with oil. Flip it over and place oil side down onto the baking sheet and then sprinkle with a bit of mozzarella. Add 1 cup of the filling and spread it over the cheese and then sprinkle a bit more of the cheese over it. Cover with another tortilla and brush the top with more oil. Repeat with the remaining tortillas until 3 quesadillas are assembled. You may need multiple baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven for about 3 to 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is slightly golden. Cut into wedges and serve.
