Ingredients

8 ounces bulk mild Italian sausage

1/3 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 fresh jalapeno pepper, finely chopped

6 6- to 8-inch vegetable-flavored or plain flour tortillas

1 tablespoon cooking oil

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack and/or queso fresco (Mexican farmer cheese) (4 oz.)

2 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro or parsley

Directions

For filling, in a medium skillet cook chorizo or sausage, onion, and garlic until meat is brown and onion is tender.

Drain off fat.

Pat chorizo mixture with paper towels to remove as much additional fat as possible.

Stir in jalapeno pepper; set aside.

Brush one side of 3 tortillas with half of the cooking oil.

Place tortillas, oiled sides down, on a large baking sheet.

Spread the chorizo filling over tortillas on baking sheet.

Combine cheese and cilantro or parsley; sprinkle over filling.

Top with the remaining tortillas.

Brush with the remaining oil.

Place quesadillas on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium heat.

Grill for 3 to 4 minutes or until filling is heated through and tortillas are starting to brown, turning once halfway through grilling.

To serve, cut quesadillas into wedges

Mexican queso fresco is a great cheese.
This is a great take on the original Mexican Quesadillas.
Today we all borrow from each other, so long as it taste good it does not matter what the filling is.
Great substitutions is always the key to interesting cooking

Sounds good..Chorizo and italian sausage are always so fatty, so I put the cooked meat in a strainer when it's done cooking and let it sit right in the sink over the drain..less cleanup and less grease in the meat!! add some diced tomato, mushrooms and green bell pepper and this is a great fast dinner w/veggies!! I like it!! thanks!!
