I love the taste of tacos, burritos, and fajitas but nothing sooths my taste buds then the taste of Quesadillas. This recipe can vary to suit all your needs for the family. Experiment with your toppings.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Large four tortillas
  • grated cheese mild or sharp cheddar
  • Olive oil or vegetable oil
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • Sliced Black olives
  • Diced Fresh tomatoes
  • Chicken pieces
  • Avocado
  • Lettuce
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Salt
  • hot sauce

Step1
Heat a large cast iron frying pan to medium high heat. Add a small amount of vegetable oil; about a teaspoon and spread around the bottom of the pan with a slotted spoon (you could use butter as well).
Step2
Take one large flour tortilla and place it in the pan. Flip the tortilla over a few times, 10 seconds between flips. When pockets of air begin to form within the food, take a handful of grated cheese, sprinkle over the top of the tortilla, making sure that the cheese does not land on the pan itself.
Step3
Add whatever additional ingredients you choose - green onion, sliced mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, etc. If you would like your quesadilla to be a chicken quesadilla, add some diced cooked chicken. If you would like a authentic Mexican food recipe try some hot sauce. Take care not to layer on the ingredients to thickly as the meal will have cold spots and cook unevenly.

Tips & Warnings

  • The sky is the limit here. Add your favorite toppings.
  • Never leave stove unattended.
