Quesadilla Recipe

Quesadilla Preparation

1. 1

   Caramelize the Onions

   Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Filling

   In a bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded pepper jack cheese, diced tomatoes, and caramelized onions. Mix well and season with black pepper and additional salt to taste.

3. 3

   Assemble the Quesadilla

   Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous portion of the cheese and vegetable mixture over half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over the filling to create a half-moon shape.

4. 4

   Cook the Quesadilla

   In the same skillet used for the onions, place the assembled quesadilla over medium heat. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.

5. 5

   Serve

   Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with sour cream and pico de gallo on the side.
