Time 25m

Yield 4 quesadillas

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more
3 fresh Mexican chorizo sausages, casings removed (about 1 pound)
Four 10-inch flour tortillas
2 cups grated Pepper Jack cheese (about 8 ounces)
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
Easy Homemade Salsa, recipe follows
1 tablespoon butter
Sour cream, for serving
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
4 plum tomatoes, cut into quarters, seeds removed
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
1 jalapeno, seeds removed, quartered
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 red onion, cut into chunks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add some oil to the skillet over medium heat. Once hot add the sausage and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until cooked through and crumbly, about 7 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage from the pan to a paper-towel-lined sheet tray to drain off some of the grease.
  • To assemble the quesadillas, sprinkle each tortilla with 1/2 cup sausage, 1/2 cup cheese, some beans and Easy Homemade Salsa. Fold the tortilla over to close.
  • Heat a cast-iron double-burner griddle over medium-high heat. Add the butter and 1 tablespoon oil. Once the butter is melted and foamy, carefully add the quesadillas to the pan and cook on both sides until golden brown and cheese is fully melted, about 4 minutes per side. Serve with sour cream.
  • Add the cilantro, tomatoes, garlic, jalapenos, lime juice, onion and some salt and pepper to the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until blended together. You want the salsa to still maintain some texture but be much smoother than if chopping by hand.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the salsa. The salsa was still very flavorful without it.
