Chicken Quesadilla

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
The essence of a quesadilla is cheese (queso) as the glue. A flavour bomb locked between two tortilla sheets, baked until cheese melts and pastry is crisp. Simple, but temperature control is key: if the pan is too hot, the dough burns before the cheese melts.

Instructions

1 ✓

Fry the filling: Salt and pepper the chicken, sprinkle with chilli. Fry until red in a hot pan. Add chopped onion and pepper, fry for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan.

Tip: Important that vegetable juices evaporate, otherwise they soak the tortilla.
2 ✓

Assembly: Wipe the pan. Place tortilla in it. Sprinkle half with cheese, add chicken ragout, then another layer of cheese.

Tip: Cheese should be at bottom and top, this will glue the dough to the meat.
3 ✓

Cooking: Fold tortilla in half. Fry on medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and cheese runs out.

Tip: Don't use too much oil for frying, cook dry or on a wafer-thin oil layer so it's crisp, not oily.

Recipe FAQ

How do I flip it without it falling apart?
Use two plates or a wide spatula. But the best trick: put filling on only half the tortilla and fold in half (half-moon shape). This way you don't have to flip the whole "disc".
