Instructions
Warm oil in a large heavy skillet over low heat.
Add onions, salt, pepper and rosemary. Stir to coat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft, 20 to 25 minutes. Uncover skillet, sprinkle sugar over onions and stir to combine. Raise heat to medium and cook, uncovered, stirring often, until onions are an even golden color, 12 to 15 minutes. (
Add a bit of water if skillet becomes too dry.)
Preheat grill to medium-low.
Lay tortillas on a flat surface and spread onion mixture evenly over lower half of each.
Sprinkle cheese over onions and fold top half of each tortilla down over filling, pressing gently to adhere.
Place quesadillas on grill and cook until lightly browned and cheese has melted, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
Transfer to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes.
Cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose
Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The WindRacer Russian River Pinot Noir with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 60 dollars per bottle.

WindRacer Russian River Pinot Noir
Beautiful aromas of sassafras, mocha and black licorice demonstrate the unique, bold personality of the Russian River Valley. Distinct flavors of brambly fruit, sweet oak and white pepper lead to a broad, balanced wine with food-friendly acidity. Russian River's warm, sunny days and cool foggy nights are optimal for Pinot Noir – the wines have great texture and weight without being overdone or losing their natural acidity. The classic deep, dark aromas and flavors the Russian River is known for shine through in this wine.
