Ingredients

FOR THE FILLING:
2 Poblano chili, about 2 ounces each
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini or navy beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup tightly packed fresh cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons minced jalapeño peppers, with seeds
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 cloves garlic (medium), crushed and peeled
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

8 flour tortillas (10 inches)
3 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese

Directions:

TO MAKE THE FILLING: Grill the poblano chilies over Direct Medium heat until evenly charred on all sides, 7 to 9 minutes, turning as needed. Remove the chiles from the grill and place in a paper bag close tightly. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes to steam off the skins. Remove the chiles from the bag and peel away the charred skins. Cut off the tops and remove the seeds. Place the chiles in a food processor.

In a small sauté pan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the sesame seeds to the food processor along with the remaining filling ingredients. Process until smooth.

Place four of the tortillas on a work surface. Spread about 1/2 cup of the filling evenly to within one inch of the edge of each tortilla. Sprinkle the cheese over the filling and top with the remaining tortillas.

Carefully transfer the quesadillas to the cooking grate and grill over Direct Medium heat until the tortillas are well marked and the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes, carefully turning with a wide spatula once halfway through grilling time. Remove from the grill and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Cut each quesadilla into eight wedges. Serve warm.
