Notes
- Gluten Free: If making these quesadillas gluten free, use six 6" corn tortillas (standard size) to make three quesadillas instead of four. Always check the label to make sure the soy chorizo used is gluten free.
- Make More! To easily double the recipe, use the entire standard package of soy chorizo, which is usually 12 oz and double the other ingredients in the recipe.
- Make Ahead: The soy chorizo can be cooked ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to make the quesadillas.
