Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and caramelize the onion

  • Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].

In a medium frying pan over medium heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, start preparing the rest of the meal. 

2

Cook the kale

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, stir in the kale, season with salt and pepper, and cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil between batches if needed. Wipe out the pan.

3

Assemble and cook the quesadillas

  • Rinse the hominy. In a medium bowl, stir together the hominy and as much Aleppo chile as you like and season generously with salt and pepper. 

On a work surface, lay out 3 [6] tortillas. Divide the hominy, kale, and Mexican cheese blend among the tortillas and spread evenly; season with salt and pepper and cover each with a second tortilla.

In the same pan used for the kale, warm 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the quesadillas and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and crisp and the cheese has melted slightly, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly, then cut in half. Add more oil between batches if needed. While the quesadillas are cooking, prepare the mango salsa. 

4

Make the mango salsa

  • Trim the ends from the mango; cut away the peel, then cut the flesh away from the pit. Cut the fruit into ½-inch pieces.
  • Finely chop the piquillo peppers. 
  • Zest and juice the lime.

In a medium bowl, stir together the mango, piquillo peppers, and lime zest and juice; season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Serve

Transfer the quesadillas to individual plates, top with the caramelized onion and mango salsa, and serve.
