Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

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.
