Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

1

Roast the Peppers

Place the poblano peppers directly over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is charred and blistered. Remove from heat and place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for about 10 minutes. Peel the skin off, remove the seeds, and slice into strips.

2

Sauté the Onion

In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the roasted poblano strips, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

3

Assemble the Quesadilla

On half of each tortilla, place a generous amount of the sautéed onion and poblano mixture. Top with shredded Oaxaca cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

4

Cook the Quesadilla

Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium heat. Cook the quesadillas one at a time for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted. Use a spatula to flip carefully.

5

Serve

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