Dove Quesadillas

Dove Quesadillas
These Ultimate Dove Quesadillas might be one of my favorite ways to cook dove! We start by smoking poblano peppers and onions to add a layer of smokey flavor, then sauté them with mushrooms and fresh red bell pepper until everything is tender and packed with flavor.

Next, we load freshly griddled tortillas with the smoked and sautéed vegetables, the dove and two different cheeses for the perfect melt. The quesadillas hit the griddle until they’re golden brown and crispy on both sides with that gooey, cheesy filling inside.

If you’re looking for a new way to cook your dove this season, this one is an absolute must-try. It’s smokey, cheesy, crispy and one heck of a way to turn your dove harvest into the ultimate quesadilla!

Once the cheese on the bottom is melted, flip using a large spatula. Once the cheese is melted throughout you can flip a few more times until you reach the desired color on the tortillas.
