Method

Quesadilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Filling

    If using optional add-ons, cook your choice of chicken, steak, shrimp, or mixed veggies until fully cooked. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble Quesadilla

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Take one flour tortilla and sprinkle half of the Queso Chihuahua on one half. Add your choice of cooked filling (if any) on top of the cheese and fold the tortilla over.

  3. 3

    Cook Quesadilla

    Melt 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in the skillet. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Remove from skillet and repeat for the remaining tortillas.

Salsa Verde Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Salsa Verde

    In a saucepan, bring water to a boil and add tomatillos and jalapeño. Boil for about 5 minutes until softened. Drain and blend with cilantro, lime juice, and salt until smooth.

Pico de Gallo Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Pico de Gallo

    Dice tomatoes and onion. In a bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
