Artichoke Quesadillas

Artichoke Quesadillas


1. With a food processor running, add the garlic clove through the feed tube until it is finely chopped.

2. Add the drained artichoke hearts and the basil; pulse until mixture is finely chopped. (This can be prepared a few days ahead, covered and chilled).

3. Spread one half of each tortilla with a few tablespoons of the artichoke mixture. Sprinkle about 1/3 cup of the grated cheese over the artichoke spread.

4. Arrange a few strips of chili over the cheese.

5. Fold tortillas in half over the filling and brush both sides with some of the reserved artichoke marinade.

6. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

7. Put 2 to 3 quesadillas into the skillet and cook until lightly browned; turn over and cook until golden.

8. Remove from skillet and cut into 4 to 6 wedges.

9. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
