INGREDIENTS

2 sm Red onions; sliced thin
2/3 c Cider vinegar
4 Garlic cloves; halved
1/2 ts Whole black peppercorns; crushed
1/2 ts Coriander seeds; crushed
1/2 ts Cumin seed; crushed
1/2 ts Salt
8 Flour tortillas -; (7" dia)
2 c Grated Monterey Jack
1/4 c Minced fresh coriander; plus sprigs
For garnish
2 Scallions; minced
Dried hot red pepper flakes; to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

In a saucepan boil the onions in just enough salted water to cover for 1
minute, drain them, discarding the water, and return them to the pan with
the vinegar, the garlic, the peppercorns, the coriander seeds, the cumin
seed, and the salt. Add just enough water to cover the onions and boil the
mixture for 3 minutes. Transfer the onion mixture to a glass bowl and let
it stand for at least 3 hours and up to 24 hours. In a dry 8-inch skillet
arrange 1 of the tortillas, sprinkle it with 1/2 cup of the Monterey Jack,
1/4 cup of the pickled onions, 1 tablespoon of the minced coriander,
one-fourth of the scallions, and red pepper flakes to taste, and top the
mixture with another tortilla. Cook the quesadilla over moderate heat for 4
minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is
browned lightly. Cut the quesadilla into 8 wedges and garnish it with about
2 tablespoons of the pickled onions and a coriander sprig. Make 3 more
quesadillas in the same manner with the remaining tortillas and
ingredients. This recipe yields 32 hors d'oeuvres.
