Ingredients
- 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 6 oz Spanish chorizo, casing removed, finely diced
- 1.5 cups shredded Manchego cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Sour cream or salsa for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced chorizo and red onion; cook for 3-4 minutes until chorizo is browned and onion is softened. Transfer mixture to a bowl.
- 2
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and return to medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet.
- 3
Sprinkle 1/3 cup of cheese evenly over the tortilla. Spread half of the chorizo mixture over the cheese, then sprinkle with 1 tbsp cilantro and another 1/3 cup of cheese. Top with a second tortilla, pressing down gently.
- 4
Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip using a large spatula. Cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden and cheese is fully melted. Transfer to a cutting board.
- 5
Repeat steps 2-4 with the remaining two tortillas and filling. Let each quesadilla rest for 1 minute, then slice into 8 wedges each. Serve warm with sour cream or salsa if desired.
Pro Tips
💡
Use a non-stick skillet to ensure the quesadilla releases easily and doesn't tear when flipping.
💡
Let the cooked quesadilla rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing; this helps the cheese set for cleaner cuts.
💡
For a milder version, use a semi-cured or mild chorizo instead of the fully cured, spicy variety.
