QUESADILLAS CON QUESO

Steps:

• Place masa and salt in a mixing bowl. Slowly mix in water until you reach a doughy consistency. Using 1-ounce from mixture, roll into a ball. By hand, slap the dough and form a tortilla (about 5-inches in diameter, 1/8-inch thick). If you have a tortilla press, place 1 ounce masa ball and lightly press down and make a tortilla. Repeat with remaining mixture.
• Combine the cheeses and set aside.
• To cook tortilla, place it on a griddle or comal that is about 250 degrees F. When tortilla is slightly brown, flip tortilla over and cook the other side. When both sides are almost done, place cheese mixture on 1 tortilla and cover with the other one, making a quesadilla. Cook until the cheese melts. Cut quesadilla into quarters and serve with chipotle salsa and a sprig of cilantro.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place tomatoes, onions and garlic in a small roasting pan. Coat with olive oil and roast until charred and blistered, about 25 minutes. Let cool. Place in blender with remaining ingredients. Do not puree, but leave a little chunky for texture.

CHEESE QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet or comal over low-medium heat. Heat the tortillas slightly, flipping them over every 10 seconds, until they're easily foldable and pliable.
• Evenly divide the cheese and sprinkle it onto one half of each tortilla. Generously season with salt.
• Fold the tortillas over the cheese to create a half-moon shape.
• Cook the quesadillas for 1-2 minutes, or until one side of the quesadilla is golden-brown. You may have to press down lightly on the tops of the quesadillas with a spatula to prevent the tortillas from opening up.
• Flip over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden-brown and the cheese has fully melted.
• Serve immediately as is, or cut them in half and serve with sour cream, pico and your favorite salsa.
