Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     appetizer

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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

chorizo, or use store-bought
3 tablespoons paprika
½ tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried coriander
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground cloves
1 lb ground pork
1 tablespoon white vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 corn tortillas, preferably fresh
8 oz shredded cheese, such as mozzarella, queso Oaxaca, or cheddar
pickle, for serving
4 early girl tomatoes, quartered
8 habanada peppers, steam removed
10 cloves garlic
olive oil, for drizzling
kosher salt, to taste
1 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • If making the chorizo, in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the paprika, cumin, ancho chile powder, chili powder, oregano, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, ground pork, vinegar, and garlic. Mix until well combined.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the chorizo and cook until the fat has rendered and the chorizo is crisp. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and discard the excess fat.
  • Sprinkle the cheese over the tortillas, then top with the chorizo.
  • Return the tortillas to the pan and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crisp, 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, make the salsa: Coat the tomatoes, peppers, and garlic with olive oil and salt, then spread on a baking sheet. Roast under the broiler for 5-10 minutes, until charred in spots.
  • Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender and purée until smooth. Stir in the lemon juice and season with more salt to taste.
  • Serve the taco-quesadillas with salsa and pickles.
  • Enjoy!

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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Be sure to cook the chorizo thoroughly before adding it to the quesadilla.
  • Use a good quality waffle maker to get crispy, golden brown waffles.
  • Don't overfill the waffle maker, or the waffles will be too thick and doughy.
  • Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings.
