Grilled Quesadillas
Ingredients
4 flour tortillas, 8 inches
2 cups mexican cheese (oaxaca, chilhuahua, or asadero) or whole milk mozzarella, thinly sliced or shredded
Directions
Critique
Chef: good amount of cheese, pepper flavor is nice. Don't garnish with raw pepper, should be prepared in some way, can blanch,pickle, grill, just not raw.
Personal/Team: These were really flavorful and good, I liked using the flour tortillas, but it would be fun to try with homemade corn tortillas.
Lessons Learned: I have always sauteed quesadillas, but the grill marks are attractive and don't take much extra effort.
