Gallo Quesadillas Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Gather all the ingredients. Grate the queso asadero if it's not pre-grated. Prepare the jalapeño relish by chopping jalapeños and mixing them with chopped onions, vinegar, and spices if you are not using a store-bought version.

2. 2

   Heat the Pan

   In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until hot.

3. 3

   Assemble the Quesadilla

   Place one tortilla in the skillet. Evenly spread 1/2 cup of grated queso asadero on top of the tortilla. Add 1/4 cup of jalapeño relish on top of the cheese, then cover with another tortilla.

4. 4

   Cook the Quesadilla

   Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula.

5. 5

   Finish Cooking

   Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet if necessary. Cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

6. 6

   Slice and Serve

   Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and allow it to cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve warm with additional jalapeño relish on the side.
