Make Chipotle Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine fresh raspberries, frozen unsweetened raspberries, sugar, and chipotle chiles in adobo.
- Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
-
Puree and Strain:
- Transfer the sauce mixture to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
- Strain the puree through a fine sieve into a bowl to remove any seeds or chunks.
-
Prepare Zuni Rolls:
- Finely chop the scallions.
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean work surface.
- Divide the Havarti cheese, turkey, bacon, and chopped scallions evenly between the tortillas.
-
Roll and Toast:
- Drizzle some of the chipotle sauce over the filling on each tortilla.
- Gently roll up the tortillas, enclosing the filling securely.
- In a lightly oiled skillet, toast the rolls over moderately high heat, starting with the seam side down.
- Turn the rolls occasionally until they are golden brown on all sides, approximately 3 minutes.
-
Serve:
- Once toasted, diagonally halve the tortillas crosswise.
- Serve the Zuni rolls with the remaining chipotle sauce on the side for dipping.
- Alternatively, you can bake the rolls in a 350°F oven until the cheese is melted and the rolls are heated through.
Tips:
- For a spicier sauce, add more chipotle chiles in adobo to taste.
- You can customize the filling of the Zuni rolls with your favorite ingredients such as avocado, shredded chicken, or bell peppers.
- If raspberries are not in season, you can use frozen raspberries for the sauce.
- These Zuni rolls make for a fantastic appetizer or main course and are sure to impress your guests with their unique flavor combination of sweet and spicy. Enjoy! 🌶️🧀🥓
