Chorizo and Red Pepper Quesadillas image

The combination of cheese, peppers, and smoky chorizo sausage makes this tortilla irresistible. The pork sausages are seasoned with paprika, which gives them their characteristic flavor and color.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 flour tortillas (10-inch)
1 chorizo sausage (about 2 1/2 ounces), coarsely chopped
1 red bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 cup)
3 scallions, thinly sliced
2 cups shredded (8 ounces) Monterey Jack cheese
Prepared green or red salsa, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Assemble quesadillas: Place 4 tortillas on a work surface. Dividing evenly, scatter chorizo, bell pepper, and scallions over each, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over each, and top with remaining tortillas. Press lightly to seal.
  • Place 1 quesadilla on a paper towel. Top with another paper towel, a quesadilla, and a third paper towel. Microwave the 2 stacked quesadillas on high for 2 minutes or until cheese has melted. Carefully unstack quesadillas (they will be very hot), and remove paper towels. Place on a platter. Repeat with remaining 2 quesadillas.
  • Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges and serve with salsa, if desired.

I had some trouble getting the quesadillas to fold properly. I ended up just cutting them into wedges.

These quesadillas were a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chorizo or adding some sour cream to help cool them down.

I made a few changes to the recipe. I used ground beef instead of chorizo and I added some black beans. The quesadillas were still delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and the quesadillas turned out perfect. They were crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.

I'm not usually a fan of chorizo, but I really enjoyed these quesadillas. The red peppers and cheese helped to balance out the flavor of the chorizo.
