MEXICAN CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP AND
CHEESE QUESDELLIA
 
SOUP:

1 (10 oz.) can Rotel diced tomatoes w/ green chiles
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 cups milk (I use 2%)
1/2 tsp. salt

GARNISH PER SERVING:

1 tbsp. dairy sour cream
1 tbsp. shredded Mexican "fiesta" cheese blend

QUESADILLA WEDGES:

2 flour tortillas, fajita size
1/2 cup shredded Mexican "fiesta" blend cheese
non-stick cooking spray (Pam)

Heat the tomatoes and juices from the can in a small saucepan until just bubbly.

In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and mix until bubbly and cooking (as in a roux). Add milk and stir until the sauce is thickened. Add hot tomato mixture, a tablespoon at a time, to the milk sauce, stirring after each addition.

Meanwhile, spray a large shallow frying pan with non-stick cooking spray (Pam). Heat over medium. Add 2 flour tortillas to the pan, then sprinkle each with half grated cheese. Top each with an additional tortilla. Cook on one side for 3 minutes or until browned. Flip, and cook on the other side 3 minutes or until browned. Remove tortillas from heat and cut each quesadilla into six wedges.

Ladle soup into bowls, and top each bowl with dairy sour cream and shredded cheese. Sere with quesadilla wedges, which can be "dunked" into the soup.

 Sarah Jenkins (New Mexico) says:
This soup and quesadilla combo is a total winner! It's super easy to make, even on a busy weeknight. The soup has just the right amount of spice from the Rotel, and the cheesy quesadillas are perfect for dipping. I did add a little extra cumin to the soup because we love that warm flavor, but it's delicious as is too! Give this one a try - you won't be disappointed.
