You Can Grill Quesadillas?
Did you know that you can make quesadillas on the grill? You can and they’re awesome. Melty, cheesy, and smokey. The next time you fire up the grill be sure to make some.
How to Make
Start with some good corn tortillas, not flour they don’t take well to the high heat of the grill, and some Chihuahua, asadero or Oaxaca cheese. Monterey Jack or even mozzarella make good substitutes.
Time to Grill
Place the tortillas on the grill first for about 30 seconds. The heat makes them pliable so that you can fold them without the tortilla breaking. Then add the cheese and fold the tortilla in half. You only need about ¾ ounce of cheese for each quesadilla. Don’t add too much. You want a nice balance of cheese to tortilla.
Grill until the tortillas begin to brown and the cheese has started to melt. Turn and brown the other sides. Serve with this killer grilled tomato salsa or your favorite salsa.
Couldn’t be easier! Provecho!
