As the juices dribble down your chin from the first bite of this roasted tomato and asparagus quesadilla, you’ll forget that unhealthy classic cheddar version even exists.

Ingredients

  • 8  Plum Tomatoes, Halved And Seeded
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 pound Asparagus, Trimmed And Cut In 1-inch Pieces
  • 2  Medium Onions, Thinly Sliced
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • 8 ounces, weight Goat Cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream Or Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Chives
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Parsley
  • 8  Flour Tortillas
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 F. Grease two rimmed baking sheets with olive oil. Arrange tomato halves cut side up on one sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper then drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Arrange asparagus, onion, and garlic on the second baking sheet in one layer. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place both baking sheets in preheated oven and bake until asparagus and tomatoes are very tender, about 15-20 minutes.

While vegetables bake, combine the goat cheese with the cream or milk in a small bowl. Add chives and parsley.

To make the quesadillas, spread some herbed goat cheese evenly on one tortilla. Add a layer of roasted tomato halves, asparagus, and onion. Spread a little more goat cheese on another tortilla and place on top of tortilla with vegetables. Repeat until they are all assembled.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil to grease the skillet. Carefully place a quesadilla in the skillet. Cook until golden, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until second side is golden brown. Remove cooked quesadilla to a plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
