CRISPY CHORIZO & CHEESE TACO-QUESADILLAS WITH SIMPLE SALSA RECIPE BY TASTY
Cheese makes everything better! These cheesy griddled queso-tacos are going to be your new go-to recipe for any time of the week. This is a perfect recipe for substituting any protein or vegetable in place of the chorizo. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. You can buy chorizo or make your own by mixing together the spices and ground pork. Either will work great in this recipe! If you haven't had a habanada pepper, try one-they will change your life. Check out your local farmers' market and make this salsa this weekend.

Steps:
- If making the chorizo, in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the paprika, cumin, ancho chile powder, chili powder, oregano, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, ground pork, vinegar, and garlic. Mix until well combined.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the chorizo and cook until the fat has rendered and the chorizo is crisp. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and discard the excess fat.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the tortillas, then top with the chorizo.
- Return the tortillas to the pan and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crisp, 3-4 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, make the salsa: Coat the tomatoes, peppers, and garlic with olive oil and salt, then spread on a baking sheet. Roast under the broiler for 5-10 minutes, until charred in spots.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender and purée until smooth. Stir in the lemon juice and season with more salt to taste.
- Serve the taco-quesadillas with salsa and pickles.
- Enjoy!
