Dinner with Casey Deeya

On January 29, 2006 in Different Dinner Project

There are as many ways to make a Quesadilla as there are to make a sandwich. My favorite is with goat cheese and roasted red pepper. A close second is the standard salsa, meat and cheese variety. Warm and gooey and dipped in some sour cream it's an easy fix for dinner. The Cream Cheese Corn is creamy, cheesy and corny and fits perfectly with the gooey cheese from the quesadilla. This is definitely not a low-calorie dish, but very filling and very satisfying.

I still have plenty of chipotles leftover from last night, so I thought I'd look for some recipes. I found several recipes for barbecue sauces that combined chipotle and coffee. I'd never cooked with coffee before, but have been interested in doing so ever since a friend of mine came back from Costa Rica and said that they'll use instant coffee for seasoning over drinking it. I altered the recipe to make Chipotle and Coffee Beans instead of sauce. The flavor of the coffee comes through, but it helps to develop the smoked chili flavor rather than flavoring it like an espresso shot. Very simple and very tasty, I recommend trying it some time!
