MAKES 24 WEDGES LACTO
Here's one way to reduce the fat in a quesadilla: eliminate the cheese
entirely. That's what the street vendors in Mexico City do when they serve
potato quesadillas. Unfortunately, the vendors also fry the potatoes in a
sea of oil or lard. To make a low-fat version, we simmer the spuds in
vegetable stock.
In medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add half the onions
and cook, stirring often until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in
potatoes and cook for 1 minute. Stir in broth and simmer until the potatoes
are tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 8 minutes. Season with salt
and black pepper.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Coat 2 non-stick baking sheets with nonstick spray.
Arrange 4 tortillas on baking sheets. Divide potato mixture among tortillas
and spread evenly. Top each with 1 tortilla.
Coat tops of quesadillas with nonstick spray. Bake, turning once, until
lightly browned and heated through, about 10 minutes. Cut each quesadilla
into 8 wedges. Arrange sour cream, tomatoes, jalapeno and remaining onions
in separate serving bowls. Serve with quesadillas and pass at the table.
