Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 8 ounces Chorizo sausage
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup (for serving) Sour cream
- 0.5 cup (for serving) Salsa
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the chorizo sausage. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it’s fully cooked and browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2
Wipe out the skillet if necessary and return it to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 3
Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of it with 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella, 1 ounce of crumbled goat cheese, a portion of the cooked chorizo, a few slices of red onion, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Step 4
Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently with a spatula to flatten. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Step 5
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Step 6
Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side.
