\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Place 4 tortillas on a work surface and sprinkle each with 1 tsp. Monterey Jack and 1\/2 ounce Montrachet, making sure the cheeses are evenly distributed over the surface. Scatter 1\/4 cup shredded duck or chicken over each, then sprinkle evenly with the sliced mushrooms, scallions, and chopped cilantro.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Cover with the remaining cheeses. Place a second tortilla over each, creating a sandwich, and press down on the ingredients with the palm of your hand. Head a dry nonstick large skillet over medium heat until very hot. Using a large spatula, place a quesadilla in the skillet and cook, pressing down with the spatula, and turning once, until the cheese melts and the tortillas brown slightly, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a low oven (250 F.) to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas. To serve, cut each quesadilla in quarters and serve hot, garnished with quartered limes, cilantro sprigs, and a dollop of avocado cream. Serve with a bowl of salsa alongside. Yield: 4 servings
