Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Brisket
If not already done, shred or chop the brisket into small, bite-sized pieces. Make sure it's tender and flavorful.
- 2
Slice the Jalapeños
Wash and slice the jalapeños into thin rings. Remove seeds for a milder taste, if desired.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Tortilla
In a large skillet over medium heat, place one flour tortilla and allow it to warm for about 30 seconds.
- 4
Add the Filling
On one half of the warmed tortilla, layer 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, followed by 1/2 cup of brisket, and a generous sprinkle of sliced jalapeños.
- 5
Fold the Quesadilla
Carefully fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling. Press down gently to help the cheese melt and hold the contents together.
- 6
Cook the Quesadilla
Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on one side until the cheese begins to melt and the tortilla is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- 7
Repeat for Remaining Quesadillas
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients, adding more cheese and brisket as needed.
Serving

Slice and Serve
Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve with optional sour cream, salsa, and chopped cilantro on the side.
