"I had this quesadilla at a Mexican restaurant nearby in Pelham, Alabama before a Coldplay concert. I told the server there are chorizo & goat cheese quesadillas in Heaven. Seriously."

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Yields: 4 quesadillas
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 whole wheat tortillas, medium in size
• 6 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
• 12 ounces chorizo sausage, removed from casings
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, cold-pressed

directions

1. Brown and break up chorizo in skillet on medium heat. Drain, set aside, and wipe out skillet for the quesadillas.
2. Use 1/2 tablespoon of oil for each quesadilla.
3. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in skillet to medium or medium-high, depending on your burner. When the oil is glistening, it's ready. Don't wait until it smokes.
4. Place a tortilla in the oil. Spread half with softened goat cheese and sprinkle chorizo to your liking and fold in half.
5. Let brown for a minute or so, peeking often so as to not burn it.
6. Carefully flip it over and brown the other side.
7. Repeat with the other 3 tortillas and the rest of the cheese and sausage.
