Recipe Introduction
"The traditional combination of cheese, peppers, and smoky chorizo sausage makes this tortilla sandwich irresistible. These are perfect for a weeknight meal, or, if you're entertaining, they can be cut into smaller wedges and served as appetizers."
List of Ingredients
* 8 flour tortillas (10-inch)
* 1 chorizo sausage (about 2 1/2 ounces), coarsely chopped
* 1 red bell pepper (ribs and seeds removed), cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 cup)
* 3 scallions, thinly sliced
* 2 cups shredded (8 ounces) Monterey Jack cheese
* Prepared green or red salsa, for serving (optional)
Recipe
1. Assemble quesadillas: Place 4 tortillas on a work surface. Dividing evenly, scatter chorizo, bell pepper, and scallions over each, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over each, and top with remaining tortillas. Press lightly to seal.
2. Place 1 quesadilla on a paper towel. Top with another paper towel, a quesadilla, and a third paper towel. Microwave the 2 stacked quesadillas on high for 2 minutes or until cheese has melted. Carefully unstack quesadillas (they will be very hot), and remove paper towels. Place on a platter. Repeat with remaining 2 quesadillas.
3. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges and serve with salsa, if desired.
