QUESARITOS

Quesadillas with a meaty sauce added in. For the cheese I use cheddar, but monterrey jack works well too. Kidney beans could be added too, but I haven't tried that yet.

Time 1h5m

Yield 2 quesaritos, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 lb ground beef
1 onion
1 green pepper (optional)
1/2 head broccoli (optional)
2 -3 jalapeno peppers (optional)
3 tomatoes
1/2 cup spaghetti sauce
250 g grated cheese
36 inches flour tortillas
2 cups sour cream
3 cups cooked rice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons oregano
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Chop the onion, peppers, and broccoli into small pieces.
  • Fry the onion and vegetables in a large frying pan, adding salt, pepper, and oregano.
  • Add in the ground beef, and fry until the beef is well-cooked.
  • Chop the tomatoes, and add, along with the spaghetti sauce.
  • Continue to simmer 20-30 minutes, until the liquid has mostly boiled off. It should not be at all runny, or else the end product will be very messy.
  • Now brush one side of a tortilla with olive oil, and fry for a couple minutes, oil side down; remove.
  • Then take another tortilla, brush it with olive oil, and place on frying pan. Sprinkle half the cheese and sour cream evenly (not too close to the sides), and then spread half the sauce and rice, again not too close to the edge, about 1/4-1/2" thick.
  • Place the already baked tortilla on top, and fry for a few minutes.
  • Remove, cut into quarters, and do the same for the other two tortillas.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tortillas: Use large, burrito-sized tortillas that are soft and pliable. Corn or flour tortillas can be used, depending on your preference.
  • Prepare the Quesarito Filling: Cook your protein of choice (such as ground beef, chicken, or steak) and season it with your favorite taco seasoning. Add other fillings like rice, beans, and vegetables.
  • Layer the Ingredients: Place the cooked protein in the center of the tortilla, followed by the other fillings. Make sure to leave enough room at the edges to fold the tortilla.
  • Add the Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded cheese over the fillings. Use a blend of cheeses that melt well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack.
  • Fold the Quesarito: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling. Then, fold the left and right edges inward. Finally, roll the tortilla up tightly from the bottom.
  • Grill or Pan-Fry the Quesarito: Heat a lightly oiled grill or pan over medium heat. Place the quesarito seam-side down and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
