Spinach Bell Pepper Refried Bean And Cheddar Quesadillas Recipes

HOMEMADE CHORIZO, REFRIED BEAN AND CHEDDAR QUESADILLAS

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.
