Ingredients

  • 4 large (12-inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey pepper Jack or smoked Cheddar
  • 1/2 pound chorizo or andouille, casing removed and finely chopped
  • 2 scallions, chopped

Salsa:

  • 3 small plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 small white onion, finely chopped
  • Handful cilantro, finely chopped

Directions

Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle pan to high heat. Blister a flour tortilla for 20 seconds, flip.

    I have made chorizo quesadillas for years. We are from Mexico, and have decided that Americans overload their recipes with too many ingredients they do not need. It makes the food lose it's authentic flavor, and is no longer any good. This recipe calls for things that do not go into a chorizo quesadilla. It complicates the recipe, and makes it less enjoyable. This does not compare to the real deal!

    These were a hit at my house. My husband isn't a big fan of chorizo, but he liked them. He also liked them when I substituted the chorizo for chicken.
