We're gonna talk about Quesadillas in here.

[TimBone]

I'm in the middle of a conversation about quesadillas with a friend on facebook. He's a full blown Mexican, so he knows what's up.

He says his normal quesadilla is sautéed beef, chicken, spinach, pepper jack chees, and sometimes he adds eggs. He also notes that you can stuff pretty much anything inside of a quesadilla.

I personally like his ingredients, although I'd add a guacamole or chipotle sauce to it. One of my other Mexican buddies owns a taco shop, and he makes a killer chipotle sauce. I think I'll get the recipe from him and add it to those quesadilla ingredients. Should be bomb.

Anyway, I'm rambling, lets hear from you guys. Do you like quesadillas? What do you put in yours? Do you prefer sauce or no sauce?

Cast iron? And how to you keep the insides from oozing out the edges if you don't seal them somehow. I am a complete newbie to this Quesadilla at home craze.

Cast iron works best, but even non stick will work.

And if you don't smash the crap out of it and overfill it wont go out the edges.

I do mine like so;

I cook the chicken separately, I like to stew mine with taco seasoning type stuff, you can grill it, broil it , crock pot it, whatever. I will also use leftover seared up steak.

You heat (medium/medium high) and butter up your pan, throw the flour tortilla in it, and immediately hit it with your waiting cheese. I like Mexican 4 cheese, you can use whatever you want, As soon as the cheese is laid you throw your protein on half of the tortilla, (and veg if you want) and immediately fold over the tortilla in half. Cook until golden brown, then flip and cook until golden brown, and pull it out. Don't be smashin it or playin with it, just let it cook.

I guess sometimes some cheese can ooze out but then it kind of fries up in the pan and stays connected and I like that sort of thing~

here is someone doing something similar with pics.

Best I’ve had were quesadillas on the ole charcoal grill at a tailgate. Grill chicken, roast bell peppers, sweat some onions in foil with butter, then when that’s all ready throw a tortilla on the grill and make your ‘dilla. Gotta work quickly, but damn it was good.

Chorizo owns.

But I can't eat a lot of it or it and me don't get along.
