Quesadilla with minced meat and spinach topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 220 g raw Mexican chorizo sausage
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1cm pieces.
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- 8 wheat tortillas (about 18 cm in diameter)
- 220 g of grated Mexican cheese mix
- 1 tbsp. butter
- Salsa, for serving
Preparation:
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, until browned, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and stir until wilted. Let cool slightly.
- Place 4 tortillas on a work surface and sprinkle with half the cheese (about 1/4 cup per tortilla). Spread the meat mixture evenly, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Top with the remaining tortillas.
- Wipe out the skillet and melt the butter over medium-high heat. Carefully transfer 2 quesadillas to the skillet and cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side; transfer to a cutting board. Cook the remaining 2 quesadillas. Cut each into 4 wedges and serve with salsa.
