Quesadillas with Oven-Barbecued Beef image

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup fresh red salsa, purchased or homemade
vegetable oil or melted lard for frying
4 (7- to 8-inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the barbecued beef. Then, shred the amount of beef needed and have ready in a bowl by the stove along with separate bowls of the cheese and salsa. Put a small bowl of oil and a pastry brush near the heat source for the skillet or a flat griddle. Lay newspaper with a layer of paper towels on the counter for draining the quesadillas. 2. Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place 1 tortilla on a flat working surface and brush both sides with oil. Fry the tortilla in the hot pan about 5 seconds per side. Immediately remove it to the towels, and put a layer of meat, then a layer of cheese and a layer of salsa on half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half and return to the pan. Fry until golden on both sides. Drain quickly on paper towels and serve at once. Repeat, making as many quesadillas as desired. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
