Cheese quesadilla, served with sour cream, lettuce and rice or beans. Choice of: grilled chicken, grilled steak, carnitas, pastor, chorizo, veggies or chipotle chicken

If using chicken or another protein, grill it until fully cooked. For chicken, this typically takes about 6-8 minutes per side depending on thickness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

Prepare the Protein

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla, add the grilled protein, and then top with the remaining cheese. Place a second tortilla on top.

Assemble the Quesadilla

Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Cook the Quesadilla

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve warm.

Slice and Serve

While the quesadilla is cooking, rinse and chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. If using rice or beans, make sure they are heated and ready to serve.

Prepare the Sides

On a plate, serve the quesadilla alongside a generous dollop of sour cream, the chopped lettuce, and your choice of cooked rice or beans.
