CHEESEBURGER QUESADILLA



Cheeseburger Quesadilla image

Burritoville, a local joint down by Southeast University here, specializes in some of the oddest burritos I've ever tasted. From the BBQ chicken to the Buffalo burrito, I've had them all, but they've got only one type of quesadilla. So I've decided to take one of my favorite burritos from there, the cheeseburger burrito and apply it to quesadilla form. Served with a side of fries and a Coke®, it's what I call my most recent of culinary triumphs. Serve with a side of ketchup, yellow mustard, and sweet relish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: Quesadillas can be made with a variety of cheeses, but some melt better than others. Good choices include mozzarella, cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack. Oaxaca cheese, also known as quesillo, is a great choice for quesadillas because it melts easily and has a mild, creamy flavor.
  • Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas will make your quesadillas more pliable and less likely to crack. Stale tortillas can be warmed up in a skillet or oven before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the quesadillas will not cook evenly and the cheese will not melt properly. Cook the quesadillas in batches if necessary.
  • Flip the quesadillas carefully: Use a spatula to carefully flip the quesadillas so that they do not break apart. Wait until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown before flipping.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Quesadillas can be served with a variety of toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and Pico de Gallo.
