Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
1 small onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas. Corn or flour tortillas can be used for quesadillas, but corn tortillas are typically the better choice. They're more pliable and less likely to break when you fold them.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better your quesadillas will taste. Look for fresh vegetables, flavorful cheese, and high-quality meat or sausage.
  • Don't overcrowd the quesadillas. If you try to put too much filling in your quesadillas, they'll be difficult to fold and cook evenly. Aim for a thin layer of filling that will distribute evenly throughout the quesadilla.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning the tortillas.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately. Quesadillas are best when they're hot and fresh. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or pico de gallo.

Conclusion:

Quesadillas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With so many different fillings and toppings to choose from, there's sure to be a quesadilla recipe that everyone will love.
