6 servings
30 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 Hass avocado
  • ¼ bunch fresh cilantro
  • 3 links cured chorizo
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 6 sun-dried tomato tortillas (8–10 inch)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • ½ cup salsa
  • ½ cup sour cream

Steps

    1. Halve avocado, scoop out flesh, and chop. Chop cilantro finely and slice chorizo thinly. Spread beans evenly on one-half of each tortilla; top evenly with chorizo, avocados, and cheese. Sprinkle with cilantro and taco seasoning, then fold tortillas in half.
    2. Preheat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium 2–3 minutes. Place 1 tablespoon each oil and butter in pan. Add 2 quesadillas to pan; cook 1–2 minutes on each side until tortillas are crispy and chorizo is 165°F. Repeat with remaining oil, butter, and quesadillas.
    3. Cut quesadillas into wedges. Serve with salsa and sour cream for dipping.
