Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon lard
1/4 cup minced onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 pound ground pork
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch ground cloves
Kosher salt
Four 10-inch (burrito size) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Cheddar
1 cup refried beans
1 jalapeno, chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Guacamole, salsa, chopped scallions and sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the lard in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the ground pork, ancho powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, cinnamon, clove and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat, until brown, about 4 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Lay a tortilla on a work surface and top evenly with 1/2 cup Cheddar. Add 1/4 of the chorizo, 1/4 of the beans and some jalapeno. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose fillings. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
  • Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadilla, flipping once, until the cheese is melted and it is golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
  • Cut into triangles and serve with guacamole, salsa, chopped scallions and sour cream.

These quesadillas were delicious! The chorizo and refried beans were a great combination, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I would definitely make these again.

These quesadillas are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use whatever fillings I have on hand. I've made them with black beans, corn, and avocado before and they were just as delicious.

I made these quesadillas for my family last night and they were a hit! Everyone loved them. The chorizo and refried beans were so flavorful, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making these again.

Chorizo, refried beans, and cheddar cheese are a classic combination for a reason. They're all so flavorful and delicious together. I especially love the addition of the cojita cheese, which adds a nice tanginess and creaminess. These quesadillas are
