There is a Guadelajaran Quesadilla recipe on here, also from Vegetarian Times, that uses spinach and ingredients are different. So I thought I'd post this one too.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small onion, chopped (3/4 c)
2 garlic cloves, minced (2 tsp)
1 jalapenos or 1 serrano chili, minced
1/4 teaspoon cumin seed
1/8 teaspoon oregano
1/4 cup tequila
12 ounces swiss chard, trimmed
8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 cup light monterey jack cheese, grated
Directions:
1. Heat oil in pot over medium heat; add onion and saute 5 minutes, until golden.
2. Stir in garlic, chile, cumin and oregano, and saute 2 minutes.
3. Add tequila and simmer 1 minute, or until liquid has evaporated.
4. Stir in chard; cover; reduce heat to medium low, and steam 5 minutes, or until chard wilts.
5. Uncover, and cook 3 minutes or until liquid has evaporated.
6. Place 1 tortilla in skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle with 1/4 C cheese; top with chard mixture and second tortilla.
7. Cook 2 minutes per side, or until browned. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
8. Slice into wedges and serve.
