Que Pasa Style Quesadillas
In high school I worked at a restaurant called Que Pasa, one of the first Fresh Mexican grill style restaurants around. Regardless of how many times I ate their food I was in heaven each time. I've tried to replicate their food at best as possible in my own kitchen. These quesadillas are very close to the original and I'm totally in love with them. Hope you enjoy!
Ingredients
Cheese (Cheddar and/or Monterrey Jack)
Sour Cream
Guacamole (my recipe)
Soft Flour Tortillas
Meat (optional, but highly recommended) - shredded chicken, shredded beef, shredded pork, or chopped steak.
Directions
Cook meat using seasoning of your choice. If I come up with the meat recipes that taste like Que Pasa's I'll let you know. Use large frying pan and heat to medium/medium high. Spray pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
For each quesadilla: Spread sour cream on half a tortilla. Spread guacamole on the other half (if using small tortillas use 2 and spread sour cream on one and guacamole on the other).
Sprinkle cheese on one half, but don't over do it. If you put too much cheese you drowned out the other flavors and end up with a greasy mess (in my opinion). Top cheese with cooked meat of your choice.
Fold tortilla in half and move to pan.
Cook until tortilla is golden brown then flip and repeat for the other side.
Serve as soon as possible. They are best fresh!
