Apple Cheddar Quesadillas with Cranberry Coleslaw
Prepare the tangy coleslaw first, so its flavors can meld while you make the quesadillas.
Serves 4
Cranberry Coleslaw
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 TB lemon juice
• 1 TB sugar
• sea salt, to taste
• 10 oz shredded cabbage coleslaw mix
• 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
• 2 scallions, green and white parts thinly sliced
• 1/3 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, optional
Quesadillas
• 6 whole wheat tortillas
• 12 oz shredded cheddar cheese <>
• 2 apples (any sweet, crunchy variety like Gala or Fuji), washed and sliced
• 2 TB butter
Prepare the coleslaw: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons water, sugar and salt. Combine shredded cabbage, carrot, scallions, cranberries and optional nuts in a large bowl. Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and toss well to coat. Allow coleslaw to sit at least 15 minutes before serving, tossing occasionally. Serve with apple quesadillas.
Sprinkle 2–3 tablespoons cheese over one half of tortilla. Place several apple slices, barely overlapping, on top of cheese. Then sprinkle 2 more tablespoons of cheese on top of apples and fold tortilla in half. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Heat butter in skillet over medium-high heat and cook quesadillas until the cheese melts and the tortillas are golden brown on both sides. Serve immediately with Cranberry Coleslaw.
