THE ART OF THE QUESADILLA

Etymologies aside, cheese is the quesadilla's best friend and is an ingredient that is easy to find, delicious and complements it perfectly! The taco is the standard of Mexican cuisine, but there are certain basics that are required to make one and this is where the quesadilla has managed to position itself. A tortilla, a little cheese or the filling of your choice and that's it! Simple, fast, practical and delicious.

From there you can scale the game as much as you want by adding ingredients: Roast meat, stews, beans, mushrooms, cuitlacoche, pumpkin flower... As long as the tortilla can be folded in half and grilled there is than letting go.

Preparing a grilled quesadilla is extremely simple. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. No type of oil is necessary, but a little butter or sunflower oil gives a touch of the Mexican market to the flavor. Once the pan reaches a good temperature, put the tortilla on for a few seconds, turn it over and then place the ingredients for our quesadilla crosswise. When finished, fold the tortilla into a half circle and cook for a few minutes until the cheese is melted.

We want the tortilla to brown a little and have a firm consistency. There is no exact measure of how much to cook the tortilla, we can only suggest that it not be cooked to the point of being dry and that it not be so soft that we cannot lift it while maintaining its half-moon shape. Firm and with melted cheese! If these two are met then you found the point. That is the basic theory and applies to all grilled quesadillas. And then what can we add to it? Whatever you want! Here the imagination is the limit. We give you some examples:
