This is visually stunning & so full of flavor.  If you’re not a fan of flavored mango, use plain or other dried fruit such as pineapple, apricot, cherries & cranberries.  Try it w/ honeydew melons too.  Share your photos on Hungry Harvest social media.

Harvest Quesadillas :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::

 

Difficulty:  Easy

Time: 15 mins,

Servings:  Each

Quesadillas are a terrific foil for Harvest vegetables.  I like to add flavored rice & grains to my quesadillas, but refried beans work well too.  Quesadillas love garnishes.  I’ve showcased 2 options for our Fiesta

Ingredient	Prep Method
Favorite tortillas	Corn or flour
Favorite vegetables
Brown rice or grain mix	w/ added veggies
Favorite cheese blend

Once you make your fillings, you can whip up mealtime quesadilla for the next couple of days.  To cooked brown rice & added some roasted yam, garlic, butter & wilted chard.  I used sauted kale & more chard for the vegetable filling. Spoon about a half cup of rice onto one tortilla.  I like an organic whole grain flour tortilla about 9 inches in diameter.

Top w/ cheese, then veggies, then more cheese.  Heat a scant teaspoon of evoo in a skillet over med heat. Sandwich the second tortilla on top & place into the skillet.  Cook for about 5 to 7 mins until golden then flip.  While they cook, make your favorite garnishes.  Fruity crema pairs so nicely w/ quesadillas.

POMEGRANATE PEACH CREMA

Amount	Measure	Ingredient	Prep Method
1	Medium	Peach	Dice
1/3	Cup	Pomegranate seeds
1/2	Cup	Plain yogurt
1	Teaspoon	Lemon balm or mint	Opt, chiffonade

AVOCADO CUCUMBER GARNISH

Amount	Measure	Ingredient	Prep Method
1	Medium	Avocado
2	Tablespoons	Cucumber	Diced
1	Tablespoon	Shallot	Thin slice
1	Tablespoon	Lime	Juice & zest
		Salt & Pepper	To taste

They flip easily with a pancake turner & gentle pressure from you hand on top.  The gooey goodness of the cheese sticks it together.  Cook on the second side for about 5 mins.  I cut the 9” quesadillas into 6 pieces, the corn ones into 4.

You can make as many at once as you have skillets & burners.  They work well on a pancake griddle too.  

Any left over quesadillas reheat wonderfully in the toaster oven or stovetop.  The texture of crispy tortilla, fresh harvest vegetables & melty cheese is superb.

Eating Healthy & Delicious is a Win Win Win Situation!

Avanti HOT Lime Indian Pickle

Start w/ about 25 to 30 firm organic limes, your favorite variety.  Quarter them length wise.  If using key limes you’ll need about 50, cut in half.

The Seed Blend

Amount	Measure	Ingredient	Prep Method
3	Tablespoons	Cumin seed
3	Tablespoons	Coriander seed
2	Tablespoons	Yellow mustard seed
2	Tablespoons	Brown mustard seed
2	Tablespoons	Fennel seed
1	Tablespoon	Allspice berries
1	Tablespoon	Anise seed

The Spice Blend

Amount	Measure	Ingredient	Prep Method
½	Cup	Evoo
1 ½	Tablespoons	Avanti Golden Spice*
1	Teaspoon	Asafetida	Optional
5	Cloves	Garlic	Sliced or minced

Directions:

Turn the oven to 400 degrees.  Put the seeds on a sheet pan.  Put the oil, golden spice and garlic mix into a cast iron skillet or oven safe bowl.  Put both the seeds and the oil mix into the oven and then turn the oven off.  Set a timer for 10 mins.  When the seeds are fragrant and popping a little they are done.  Let the oil mix bubble and bloom for about 5 mins longer (total 15 mins). 

Fill 4 wide mouth impeccably clean quart jars about 1/2 full w/ lime quarters.  Divide the seeds and the oil mixture among the four jars. 

To EACH jar ADD:

Amount	Measure	Ingredient	Prep Method
3	Tablespoons	Avanti HOT Sauce*
2	Tablespoons	Sea salt
1	Tablespoon	Cider vinegar
1	Medium	Orange	Juice and zest

Cover well, leave out on the kitchen counter and shake upside down to distribute the spices and juices twice a day for 4 days.  Then open the jars and use a spoon or very clean fingers to press the limes into the brine, releasing more of their juice.  Wipe the jar rims and clean the lids well.  Continue shaking for 4 more days.  Wipe the rims and clean the lids well again, and place in the fridge.  They are ready to eat, but the flavor and texture will continue to improve in the fridge for several more months. 

*NOTE:  You’ll find Avanti Golden Spice and Avanti Pequin HOT Sauce recipes here on the Avanti blog.  Or, feel free to sub your favorite curry, 5 spice, chili powder or garam masala spice blends and your favorite HOT sauce as you wish.

Here's the world's easiest HOT Pickled Lime Egg Salad Supreme.  It's one lime segment for each hard boiled organic egg.  Both finely chopped & topped w/ some blue basil blossoms.  Sublime!
