Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 8 ounces Chorizo sausage
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup (for serving) Sour cream
- 0.5 cup (for serving) Salsa
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the chorizo sausage. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it’s fully cooked and browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe out the skillet if necessary and return it to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of it with 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella, 1 ounce of crumbled goat cheese, a portion of the cooked chorizo, a few slices of red onion, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently with a spatula to flatten. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side.
