Smoked Brisket Quesadillas Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prep the Vegetables

   Dice the onion and bell pepper into small, even pieces.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Prepare the Brisket Filling

   In a large bowl, combine the smoked brisket, sautéed vegetables, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

4. 4

   Assemble the Quesadillas

   Lay one tortilla flat and spread about 1/2 cup of the brisket filling onto half of the tortilla. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of Monterey Jack cheese over the filling. Fold the tortilla in half.

5. 5

   Cook the Quesadillas

   In the same skillet used for the vegetables, add a little more olive oil if necessary and heat over medium heat. Place the quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

6. 6

   Slice and Serve

   Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.
