Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chorizo or Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo or diced bacon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. If using chorizo, break it up into smaller pieces as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables (optional)

    If using bell pepper and onion, add them to the skillet with the cooked chorizo or bacon. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On a clean surface, lay one flour tortilla down. Sprinkle a portion of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla, followed by a portion of the cooked chorizo or bacon mixture. Add another layer of cheese on top and then place a second tortilla on top.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.

  2. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.
