Quick Quesadilla

This is a simple recipe to make quesadilla at home. It turns out pretty fine, the first time. A quesadilla is a toasted tortilla with melted cheese inside. Infact, 'queso' in Spanish means "cheese". Tortilla is the base used to make the quesedilla, and is usually made with corn flour. I used regular and jalepano tortillas in this recipe.

You can stuff a variety of fillings in the Quesadilla, however, this is not a requirement. In this recipe, I am making Chicken Quesadilla.

You will need:

1. Tortillas

2. Grated Cheddar Cheese

3. Grated Monterey Jack Cheese

4. Olive rings [Optional]

5. Bell Pepper rings [Optional]

6. Grilled Chicken breast pieces

Steps to make Quesadilla

1. Pre-heat the oven at 300F

2. In a working board, place the tortilla

3. On half side of the tortilla, top generously with Grated Cheese

4. Spread the chicken pieces, olives and pepper rings on the cheese. Sprinkle some more cheese

5. Fold the tortilla to cover the stuffings, quite like an omlette

6. You may combine some salsa to the stuffing.

7. Place the stuffed tortillas in the oven and bake for 3-4 minutes, or untill the cheese has melted and the tortillas are crispy

8. Once, out of the oven, cut each quesadilla into wedges. Three wedge per quesadilla is the ideal size.

The chicken stuffing can be bought from frozen food section of any food store. Or, you can make them at home as described here.

Server with Guacamole, sour cream and Salsa for a delicious meal.
You can make quesedillas with variety of stuffings, including, shrimp, other meats or vegetables.

Enjoy!
