Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, combine the crumbled chicharron, refried beans, and chopped cilantro. Mix well until all ingredients are well combined.

2

Assemble the Quesadilla

Take one flour tortilla and spread a portion of the filling mixture on half of the tortilla. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Oaxaca cheese over the filling, then fold the tortilla in half.

3

Cook the Quesadilla

In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once hot, place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

4

Serve

Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Cut into wedges and serve with sliced avocado and salsa, if desired.
