Quesadilla Pie Recipe

Quesadilla Pie Recipe Brush butter on the bottom of the pan to keep the tortillas from sticking, and to the top of the last tortilla for flavor and to help it brown. Hint: do not skip the butter. Ingredients 4 large flour tortillas (9-10 inches diameter) Butter 1/2 pound grated cheese, either mild or sharp cheddar, or Monterey Jack Optional Ingredients - really, the sky is the limit!! ;) Beans, cooked (black beans, pinto beans) Tomatoes, chopped Summer squash, chopped Onions (green onions, red onions, onion greens) Mushrooms (if using a lot, sauté first, to remove moisture) Cooked shredded chicken, pork, or beef Chiles, either from cooked green chiles, chopped pickled jalapenos, or salsa Cumin and/or chili powder for extra heat Garnishes - again, the sky is the limit!: Chopped avocado Chopped cilantro Thinly sliced iceberg lettuce dressed with vinegar and salt Sour cream Salsa Directions: 1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter the bottoms and sides of a pie dish, approximately the same size as your tortillas 2 Place one tortilla on the bottom of the pie dish. Sprinkle some shredded cheese over the tortilla. At this point, you will begin to add your chosen filling ingredients, and layering the tortillas. Just make sure each layer has a generous sprinkling of cheese. Top off your layers with one last flour tortilla. Spread a little butter over the surface of this tortilla. 3 Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Put in oven for 30 minutes on 350°F. Then remove the foil and increase the heat to 400°F. Cook for another 15-20 minutes, until the top is lightly browned. Remove from oven. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Cut into quarters.
