Quesadillas

And how to make them

They’ve got fried bread, cheese and tasty things, what’s not to love?

I make these for myself more than I’d like to admit… and now even my sisters kids want me to make them every time I visit, hahah!

A quesadilla is a Mexican dish and type of sandwich, consisting of a tortilla that is filled primarily with cheese, and sometimes meats and spices, and then cooked on a griddle. Traditionally, a corn tortilla is used, but it can also be made with a flour tortilla, particularly in northern Mexico and the United States. A full quesadilla is made with two tortillas that hold a layer of cheese between them. A half is a single tortilla that has been filled with cheese and folded into a half-moon shape.

So how do I make mine?

Well… I mix the following into a bowl:

  • A squeeze of tomato puree
  • Oregano
  • Minced garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • A splash of really cold water
  • Splash of hot sauce if you’ve got it

Whisk with a fork or whatever until completely mixed!

I think I’ve stolen this style of impromptu tomato sauce from my dear father, credit where credit is due.

Now, take a tortilla bread, spread an even coating of the sauce… and then you add whatever you want inside of it… if you’re making a “full quesedilla” using two tortilla breads I highly suggest not going overboard with the filling as flipping could turn out to be a shore with higher risk than reward… but you know… anarchy bro, go for it.

Yeah, just put some cheese in there.. if you got fresh herbs, pop it in!

I typically add bacon, thin slices of paprica if I got it … whatever is in the home that I think would make for a delicious quesadilla.

If you’re a Mexican reading this, feeling greatly offended…well… I’m sort of sorry…but not really… because it tastes SO good!

I can buy you a shot of tequilla while you show me how the OG’s do it, no problem.

… I’m rambling… Let’s eat!

Oh and don’t miss the cute picture of Lindas cat, gave them a visit today and whatnot.
