Ingredients

  • 4 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup Cabot cheddar or pepper jack cheese shredded
  • 2 roasted poblano chile peppers diced
  • salsa for garnish
  • guacamole for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat a comal for 1 minute over medium-low heat. The temperature on the skillet is important so that the tortillas do not harden or overcook before the cheese fully melts.
  2. Warm tortillas for 1 minute on one side, flip and sprinkle some of the cheese on one of the tortillas, add chile, and top with another tortilla and press gently with a spatula.
  3. Flip occasionally until quesadillas are golden brown on each side and cheese has melted.
  4. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
  5. Top them with salsa and guacamole, if desired.

Notes

  • Choose chile according to your tolerance for heat. For a very mild flavor roast poblano chile peppers or for a shortcut try canned Hatch diced green chile.
