What’s there not to love? I’m sold on any dish with chorizo in it for a start! These crisp, charred tortillas were oozing with creamy manchego cheese, sweet caramelized onions, and garlicky smokey spicy chorizo. Such an easy one for you today… literally just a handful of ingredients, dead easy, but still so so delicious!!
Ingredients
- 8 Flour tortillas
- Olive Oil
- 1 Red Onion cut into thin rounds
- 200g Chorizo Sausage cut into thin rounds
- 350g Manchego Cheese, grated
- A small handful of fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- In a pan over medium-high heat cook, the chorizo rounds dry until the oils are released, and they are slightly charred, drain on kitchen towels.
- Heat a grill pan on medium heat, brush the onion rounds with olive oil and cook the onions until softened and char. Remove from the heat and separate the rounds, set aside.
- At this point, keep all ingredients close as you will work fast to assemble the quesadillas.
- Using the same grill pan on medium-high heat, brush with more oil, and place one quesadilla in the pan; quickly add some cheese, chorizo, onions, and a sprinkling of parsley.
- Top with another tortilla, brush the top with more olive oil and then press the top down firmly with a spatula until you see everything melting together.
- The cheese acts as a glue, so if you need to add a little more on top or on the sides to seal the tortillas together, then do
- Flip the tortilla carefully once you see the bottom is charred nicely and getting crisp
- Continue to cook another 2-3 minutes until the bottom is also crisp and charred.
- Remove to a chopping board, repeat with all the tortillas
- Cut into triangles and enjoy hot
