Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium flour tortillas
2/3 cup shredded cheese ((Oaxaca, Chihuahua, Mozzarella, or Monterey Jack are best))
salt, (to taste)
sour cream (or Mexican crema)
guacamole
pico de gallo (or your favorite chunky salsa)

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or comal over low-medium heat. Heat the tortillas slightly, flipping them over every 10 seconds, until they're easily foldable and pliable.
  • Evenly divide the cheese and sprinkle it onto one half of each tortilla. Generously season with salt.
  • Fold the tortillas over the cheese to create a half-moon shape.
  • Cook the quesadillas for 1-2 minutes, or until one side of the quesadilla is golden-brown. You may have to press down lightly on the tops of the quesadillas with a spatula to prevent the tortillas from opening up.
  • Flip over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden-brown and the cheese has fully melted.
  • Serve immediately as is, or cut them in half and serve with sour cream, pico and your favorite salsa.

Time 10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1 cup grated (or Mexican blend) sharp cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons butter
for garnish sour cream
for garnish salsa
for garnish guacamole

Steps:

  • Lay the tortillas flat on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle some of the cheese on 1 half of each tortilla. Try not to get it too close to the edge. Fold the tortillas in half over the cheese to make a half-moon. Warm a skillet over low heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the tortilla to the skillet and cook until it is lightly brown, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, gently lift the edge so you can check. When 1 side is brown, turn the tortilla over and cook the other side until brown and the cheese is all gooey. Use a spatula to transfer to individual plates or a large platter. Repeat with remaining butter and tortillas. Top them with the sour cream, salsa and guacamole.

CRISPY-EDGED QUESADILLA



Crispy-Edged Quesadilla image

This straightforward quesadilla has an unexpected twist: a border of salty, crispy cheese surrounding the tortilla. Achieving it couldn't be easier; just press down on the folded tortilla as it heats up in the pan so the cheese spills out and turns golden. A nonstick pan is key here, otherwise the melted cheese will glue itself onto the cooking surface. Medium heat is just the right temperature for a quesadilla: It's hot enough to crisp up the cheese but low enough to prevent the cheese from burning.

Time 10m

Yield 1 quesadilla

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 teaspoons oil (such as olive, grapeseed or sunflower oil)
1 (8-inch) flour tortilla
2/3 cup shredded cheese (such as Cheddar, Monterey Jack or Mexican cheese blend)

Steps:

  • Place a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add the oil. Let oil heat up for 20 seconds, swirling the pan around so the oil coats the bottom.
  • Place the tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Once the cheese begins to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute, use a spatula to fold the tortilla in half. Using the spatula, press down firmly on the top of the tortilla until some of the cheese runs out into the pan. Let the quesadilla cook until the cheese that's leaked out solidifies and turns brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Flip the quesadilla over and let cook on the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese is crisp and golden. Slide quesadilla onto a plate and serve immediately.
