Chile cheese quesadillas with salsa recipe
Recipe ingredients:
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 1/2 Cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 Cup Shredded medium-sharp or mild Cheddar cheese
- 3-4 Teaspoon Canned green chiles
- 2-3 Teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 Medium tomatoes, chopped and seeded
- 1 Small white onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 Cup Fresh cilantro, minced
- Large clove garlic, minced
- 3 Teaspoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 Teaspoon White wine vinegar or tarragon vinegar
- 1 Jalapeno pepper, seeded, veins removed, minced
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
Recipe method:
- Making quesadillas is like making tortilla sandwiches.
- Mix together the cheeses and spread equally on four of the tortillas.
- Sprinkle the chiles evenly over the cheese. Top with the remaining tortillas.
- If you have a skillet or griddle large enough to accommodate all 4 quesadillas, warm it up and add the oil.
- Over medium-high heat, cook the quesadillas 2 minutes or until bottoms are browned.
- Carefully turn them over and brown the other side. Remove from heat and cut each into quarters.
- If your skillet is smaller, cook quesadillas one at a time, using 2 teaspoons of oil with each quesadilla.
- For the salsa: Combine all ingredients in a non-metallic bowl. Chill for 1 hour. Bring to room temperature, stir and drain any excess liquid.
