Quesadillas
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 wheat-flour tortilla (10- to 12-inch size)
- 2 to 4 tablespoon grated Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese combination or any substitution, such as goat cheese, asadero, or other quick-melting cheese
- 6 to 8 slices pickled jalapenos
- Other fillings as desired: sauteed chorizo, sliced grilled chicken, baby shrimp, cooked pinto or black beans, chilied meats, any sliced seared vegetables, chopped onion and tomato
- Preheat a comal (Mexican flat griddle), tapa, or griddle to medium heat.
- Brush some of the butter lightly in the shape of half a tortilla on one side of the comal.
- Place the tortilla on the butter.
- Place the cheese on the buttered half of the tortilla, allowing 1/2-inch margin around the edge of the tortilla.
- Scatter the jalapeno slices and any other fillings over the cheese.
- When the cheese starts to melt, fold the other half of the tortilla over the fillings and lightly press until the edges hold together.
- Brush the top with more of the butter.
- Flip the quesadilla by gently placing a pancake turner under the curved edges of the quesadilla and rolling it over.
- Cook until browned.
- Remove from the heat, slice into 4 or more sections, and garnish as desired.
- Serve warm.
