Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

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.
