WAFFLED CHORIZO-CHEESE QUESADILLA



Waffled Chorizo-Cheese Quesadilla image

With super-crisp edges, these quesadillas also borrow some of nachos' best features. Quick-pickled onions add a tart kick to the rich chorizo and gooey melted Cheddar.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lime, juiced
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
Pinch kosher salt
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, plus more brushing tortillas
2 ounces fresh chorizo, removed from casings
Four 6- to 8-inch flour tortillas
2/3 cup shredded Cheddar
Salsa, sour cream and chopped avocado, for serving
Special equipment: waffle iron

Steps:

  • Combine the lime juice, onions and salt in a small nonreactive bowl, tossing occasionally. Let sit at room temperature until the onions are pink, about 15 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 3 minutes.
  • Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Brush one side of 2 tortillas with oil and lay dry-side up on a work surface. Scatter each with 1/3 cup cheese, then the pickled onions. Sandwich with the remaining tortillas and brush the tops with oil.
  • Place 1 quesadilla in the waffle iron, close gently (don't push down) and cook until golden brown and the cheese is melted, 4 to 6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining quesadilla. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and top with the chorizo. Serve with salsa, sour cream and avocado.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your quesadilla will taste. Try to use ripe tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and high-quality chorizo.
  • Don't overcook the chorizo. Chorizo is a pre-cooked sausage, so you don't need to cook it for long. Just heat it through until it is slightly browned and crispy.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in a quesadilla, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. We recommend using a Mexican blend cheese or a sharp cheddar cheese.
  • Don't overload the quesadilla. When you're filling your quesadilla, don't overload it with too much filling. This will make it difficult to fold and cook evenly.
  • Cook the quesadilla over medium heat. Cooking the quesadilla over medium heat will help to prevent the tortilla from burning and the cheese from overcooking.
  • Serve the quesadilla hot. Quesadillas are best served hot, so be sure to enjoy them right away.

Conclusion:

Chorizo quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover chorizo, and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious chorizo quesadilla that the whole family will love.
