Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 1 carne asada recipe cut into bite size pieces
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Finely chopped fresh cilantro to taste
- ¼ cup white onion chopped
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese or cheddar cheese shredded
- 4 or 8 inch flour tortillas
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet.
- Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over half of the tortilla. Add some carne asada, chopped onion, and cilantro on top of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fold the tortilla in half, pressing down gently. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and enjoy! Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Notes
- Don’t skimp on the cheese because it helps to keep the filling together.
- Let the quesadilla rest for a couple of minutes before cutting it so the cheese can set.
- Be careful not to overfill the quesadillas, or else they can fall apart.
