Ingredients:
Creating a chorizo quesadilla from scratch involves making your own chorizo, which adds a wonderful freshness and customizability to the flavor. Here’s a comprehensive recipe including how to make the chorizo and then use it in a delicious quesadilla.
Ingredients for Homemade Chorizo:
1 lb (450 g) ground pork
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust based on heat preference)
1.5 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Additional Ingredients for Quesadillas:
4 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese (mix of Monterey Jack and cheddar)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Sour cream, guacamole, and salsa for serving
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Chorizo
Mix Spices: In a large bowl, combine the chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, dried oregano, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt.
Combine with Pork: Add the ground pork and apple cider vinegar to the spice mix. Using your hands, mix everything together until well incorporated.
Cook: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo mixture and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until it's fully cooked and crumbly. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Quesadillas
Prepare Veggies: In the same skillet, add a bit of oil if needed, then sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper until soft.
Assemble Quesadillas: Lay out the tortillas and sprinkle one half of each with a generous amount of cheese. Top with the cooked chorizo, sautéed vegetables, and chopped cilantro. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling.
Cook Quesadillas: Wipe the skillet clean if necessary and place it over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla until golden and crispy on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
Step 3: Serve
Cut and Serve: Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
Tips:
Let Chorizo Marinate: If you have time, let the chorizo mixture marinate for an hour or overnight in the refrigerator to deepen the flavors.
Cheese Options: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese like mozzarella or Oaxaca for a different melt and flavor profile.
Tips:
Cheese Choice: The mix of Monterey Jack and cheddar provides a good melt with a slight sharpness, but you can experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or Oaxaca for a different flavor profile.
Tortilla Tip: For extra crispy quesadillas, brush the outside of the tortillas lightly with oil before cooking them in the skillet.
