Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large flour tortillas
- 4 Cooked hot dogs
- 1 cup Canned chili (with or without beans)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 Green onions (optional, sliced thinly)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Slice the cooked hot dogs into thin rounds and set aside.
In a small saucepan, warm the canned chili over low heat until heated through. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.
Add an even layer of hot dog slices (about one sliced hot dog per quesadilla) on top of the cheese.
Spoon 1/4 cup of warm chili evenly over the hot dogs. Be careful not to add too much chili to avoid the quesadilla becoming soggy.
Sprinkle a handful of sliced green onions over the chili, if using, then top with another 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Place a second tortilla on top to form a quesadilla and gently press down.
Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the preheated skillet or griddle. Carefully transfer the quesadilla to the skillet.
Cook the quesadilla for 3-4 minutes on one side or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Then, carefully flip the quesadilla using a large spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining ingredients, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Allow the cooked quesadillas to cool slightly before slicing them into wedges.
Serve warm with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
