:: KC Masterpiece BBQ Portabella Quesadillas Recipe ::
Summertime!!! I always enjoy the change of seasons; it makes me happy to welcome new sights, sounds, smells, tastes. The palate of summertime is highlighted with such deep, rich, smoky and slightly sweet flavor with KC Masterpiece – such an easy way to make your summer meals shine!
I decided to put this barbecue sauce to a test – everybody knows bbq sauce goes great on meat, right? I wanted to see how it would handle a meat replacement and it definitely did NOT disappoint!
I used diced portabella mushrooms and strained, canned green chilies for the filling – I love the flavors of these two foods but I had never used them in combination with a sauce before. In order for the quesadilla to hold its form, I wanted to be sure much of the moisture in the filling had cooked off. (Mushrooms can tend to release a lot of moisture.)
I sautéd the mushrooms and chilies with KC Masterpiece steakhouse bbq sauce (see recipe below) for about 5 minutes making sure the mixture still retained enough moisture to make the quesadillas delicious!
Covering the whole tortilla with the mushroom mixture and just half with cheese, fold tortilla in half to begin browning the first side. This comes together so quickly – and that’s mandatory if a recipe makes my “keeper” pile!
I was blown away at the flavor combination! These are so delicious, that my daughter who has a thing for loathing mushrooms since she was a toddler asked for another! That’s a big deal, y’all!
