Cheese And Hominy Quesadillas With Tropical Salsa Recipes

CHEESE QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet or comal over low-medium heat. Heat the tortillas slightly, flipping them over every 10 seconds, until they're easily foldable and pliable.
• Evenly divide the cheese and sprinkle it onto one half of each tortilla. Generously season with salt.
• Fold the tortillas over the cheese to create a half-moon shape.
• Cook the quesadillas for 1-2 minutes, or until one side of the quesadilla is golden-brown. You may have to press down lightly on the tops of the quesadillas with a spatula to prevent the tortillas from opening up.
• Flip over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden-brown and the cheese has fully melted.
• Serve immediately as is, or cut them in half and serve with sour cream, pico and your favorite salsa.
