Instructions:
To prepare filling:
Place tea bags into measuring cup and pour boiling water over
bags. Let stand for 5 minutes. Remove bags and reserve tea.
Melt butter in large skillet over medium high heat. Add tea,
chili powder and garlic. Saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add
mushrooms, onion and salt. Saute until mushrooms are brown and
tender. Add the crumbled tempeh and saute 2 minutes more or
until heated through. Remove from heat, cool for 10
minutes.
To assemble
quesadillas:
Preheat grill to 350ºF (180ºC). Lightly brush 6
tortillas on one side with oil. Place the tortillas oil-side down
on large non-stick rimless baking sheet (Use a cookie sheet with
sides by turning it upside down). Divide the filling mixture
equally among the 6 tortillas. Top each filled tortilla with
cheese. Brush tops with oil.
Gently slide the quesadillas onto the grill. Grill for about 3
minutes on each side, until heated through and golden brown. Remove
from grill and let stand for 2 minutes before cutting into wedges.
Serve with salsa, sour cream or guacamole and lemon wedges if
desired.
