Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the red bell pepper and onion into thin strips. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté the onion and red bell pepper until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place a tortilla in the skillet. On one half of the tortilla, layer cooked chorizo, sautéed vegetables, shredded cheese, and cilantro. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

  5. 5

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
