Ingredients
Ingredients
fresh raspberries
1 cup (better with fresh)
sugar
2 tablespoons (none)
ruby port
1/4 cup (none)
chipotle chiles in adobo
1 can (7 ounces) (drained, leave adobo sauce in)
scallions
2 (finely chopped)
flour tortillas
2 (9-10 inch) (none)
coarsely grated havarti cheese
2/3 cup (none)
thinly sliced smoked turkey breast
1/4 lb (none)
crisp cooked bacon
6 slices (none)
Instructions
1
To prepare the raspberry chipotle sauce, combine the raspberries, sugar, ruby port, and chipotle chiles in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves.
2
Transfer the cooked sauce to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine sieve into a clean bowl to remove the seeds. Set the sauce aside.
3
For the Zuni rolls, start by finely chopping the scallions.
4
Lay the flour tortillas flat on a work surface. Evenly distribute the grated Havarti cheese, smoked turkey slices, cooked bacon slices, and chopped scallions onto each tortilla.
5
Drizzle a generous amount of the raspberry chipotle sauce over the fillings in the tortillas.
6
Gently roll up each tortilla tightly. In a lightly oiled skillet, toast the rolls seam-side down over medium-high heat. Turn occasionally until they are golden brown on all sides, roughly 3 minutes.
7
Alternatively, place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cheese is thoroughly melted and the rolls are heated through.
8
Cut each roll diagonally in half and serve immediately with the remaining raspberry chipotle sauce on the side for dipping.
