Chorizo Quesadillas
Author: Anita
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Total time: 25 mins
Ingredients
  • ½ lb Jenny-O Turkey Chorizo
  • ½ cup mild diced green chiles
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (8 oz)
  • 1 dozen 10-inch tortillas (or more smaller ones)
Instructions
  1. Over medium heat, lightly brown the chorizo, just until it's in small crumbles, then remove from heat.
  2. Blend the cheese with the chorizo and green chiles.
  3. For each quesadilla, place a tortilla on a large skillet or tortilla maker, spread mixture evenly, and top with second tortilla.
  4. Of course, I prefer using a tortilla maker - in which case you cook until top tortilla is starting to brown and filling is melted. In a skillet, you need to flip it and cook the other side. I find the easiest way to do this is cook over medium heat, peeking to see cheese is melted and bottom starting to brown. Then slide it off onto a plate, invert skillet on top of plate and flip so uncooked side is now on the skillet. Then cook till bottom tortilla is starting to brown ( a couple minutes).
  5. Slide cooked quesadilla off onto a plate, cut into wedges and serve.
  6. If desired, serve with shredded lettuce, sour cream, salsa, whatever & enjoy!
