Ingredients
2
pounds
beef
lamb, or goat
2-3
chili peppers
your preferred type
2
cups
shredded cheese
such as mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or Oaxaca
10
tortillas
corn or flour
1
onion
finely chopped
2
cloves
garlic
minced
Instructions
Cook the meat with chili peppers, onion, and garlic until tender.
Shred the cooked meat and set aside.
Heat a pan over medium heat and place a tortilla in the pan.
Sprinkle cheese on half of the tortilla, then add the shredded meat.
Fold the tortilla in half, press down gently, and cook until cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.
Repeat for the remaining tortillas, then serve.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the meat for a few hours or overnight.
Adjust the spice level according to your preference.
When cooking the quesadillas, use a medium heat to avoid burning the tortillas while ensuring the cheese melts.
Use a heavy pan or a panini press for even cooking and crispy tortillas.
Drain any excess oil from the quesadillas on a paper towel to prevent sogginess.
