What to get ready

  • Photograph of Tortilla Tortilla 8
  • Photograph of Oaxaca cheese Oaxaca cheese 240 g
  • Photograph of Epazote leaves Epazote leaves 4 sprigs
  • Photograph of Chilli Chilli 2
  • Photograph of Oil Oil 20 ml

Method

  1. 1 Tear the Oaxaca cheese into thin strips so it melts evenly.
  2. 2 Heat a dry cast iron skillet, tossing the tortillas 30 seconds on each side to soften them.
  3. 3 Spread cheese on half of the pizza, then add epazote leaves and sliced fresh chilies.
  4. 4 Fold the pastry in half, brush with a little oil, and pan-fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. 5 Cut in half and serve hot with tomatillo green sauce.

With an appliance

  • Oven 18 min

    Replace step 4: place the quesadilla on the rack in the oven at 225 degrees for 6 minutes and rotate the tray after 3 minutes; the cheese will melt evenly, no need to flip the tortilla, but the crust will lack the pan-fried mark.
