Easy Green Chile Quesadilla Recipe with Sprouted Corn Tortillas
Sprouted corn tortillas are a favorite staple in our pantry. Whole grain and gluten-free, these fresh tasting tortillas make wonderful grilled sandwiches that are versatile, simple and delicious. Look for sprouted corn tortillas by Food For Life in the refrigerated section of your grocer or natural foods store.
Here is an easy favorite of ours, stuffed with chopped roasted green chiles and tiny organic grape tomatoes.
1 tablespoon light olive oil
4 sprouted corn tortillas
1/2 cup canned chopped roasted green chiles, drained
6-8 grape or cherry tomatoes, roughly chopped
A dash of cumin
A sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro
4 oz. Cheddar, or Jack cheese, sliced thin (or vegan non-dairy cheese)
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with a dash of olive oil.
Lay two of the tortillas on the hot griddle. Spoon half of the green chiles on each tortilla.
Add the tomatoes. Season with cumin and cilantro.
Layer with slices of cheddar.
Top each with another tortilla and press down with a spatula.
Cook for a minute or two and carefully flip the quesadillas using a broad flat spatula. Press down a bit and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are turning golden.

Where do you find whole grain corn tortillas? Which brand do you use?
I've heard great things about Food for Life's sprouted corn tortillas. Albion Cook's blog mentions them.
Also, what kind of chopped green chilis did you use when you lived in New England, and couldn't find the roasted version in the streets (I'm so jealous)?
Anon- I edited the post to include the brand name- Food For Life.
Anon- When I lived on Cape Cod, the only roasted green chiles I could find were Old El Paso.
Here in New Mexico I keep a container of Bueno chopped roasted chiles in the freezer when we run out of the fresh autumn roasted chiles.
