Barbecue Portobello Quesadillas

This smoky mushroom-filled quesadilla is reminiscent of pulled pork. A touch of chipotle chile pepper adds extra heat. Serve with coleslaw and guacamole.
Prep: 45 Minutes | Total Time: 45 Minutes
-
1/2 cup
prepared barbecue sauce
-
1 tablespoon
tomato paste
-
1 tablespoon
cider vinegar
-
1
chipotle chile in adobo sauce, minced, or 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
-
1 tablespoon
canola oil, plus 2 teaspoons, divided
-
1 pound
portobello mushroom caps (about 5 medium), gills removed, diced
-
1 medium
onion, finely diced
-
4
8-10 inch whole-wheat tortillas
-
3/4 cup
shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Combine barbecue sauce, tomato paste, vinegar and chipotle in a medium bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring, until the onion and mushrooms are beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to the bowl with the barbecue sauce; stir to combine. Wipe out the pan.
- Place tortillas on a work surface. Spread 3 tablespoons cheese on half of each tortilla and top with one-fourth (about 1/2 cup) of the filling. Fold tortillas in half, pressing gently to flatten.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in the pan over medium heat. Add 2 quesadillas and cook, turning once, until golden on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve.
