Quesadilla Ingredients

2 pieces Flour tortillas
1 cups Choice of Meat (e.g., shredded chicken, beef, or pork)
1 cups Shredded Cheese (e.g., cheddar, Monterey Jack)
1/2 cups Green Chile Sauce
2 tbs Oil for frying
2 pieces Sopapilla

Sides Ingredients

1 cups Refried beans
1 cups Spanish Rice

Method

Quesadilla Preparation

1
Prepare the Meat
If using raw meat, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Shred the meat using two forks and set aside. If using pre-cooked meat, simply shred it and set aside.
2
Assemble the Quesadilla
On one flour tortilla, layer half of the shredded cheese, followed by the meat, green chile sauce, and then the remaining cheese. Place the second tortilla on top.
3
Cook the Quesadilla
In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.
4
Slice and Serve
Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with sopapillas.

Sides Preparation

5
Heat the Refried Beans
In a small saucepan, heat the refried beans over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
6
Prepare the Spanish Rice
Cook the Spanish rice according to package instructions, usually simmering in water or broth until fluffy.
