Assorted Quesadillas from Scratch

We made this recipe yesterday during a Zoom cooking workshop and they turned out delicious! We had a really great time, and by making the dough and different fillings ourselves, the result was not only much healthier but also spectacular. The tortillas are from Lena, an authentic Mexican friend who taught me how to make them—they come out amazing!
We also used the green tops of the green onions to make a delicious pico de gallo. It’s a great way to use every part of the ingredient and not let anything go to waste.

Steps

1.5 hours
  1. 1

    Start with the tortilla dough. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the oil and hot water. Knead until the dough no longer sticks to your hands, then divide into 8 equal balls. Cover with a towel and let rest while you prepare the fillings.

  2. 2

    Chicken tinga: Boil the chicken breast in water for about 1 hour, then remove and shred it. Slice the red onion thinly and sauté in a little olive oil. Meanwhile, make the sauce by blending the tomato, hot sauce, and a little water or chicken cooking broth. Pour the sauce into the pan with the sautéed onion and add the shredded chicken. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens.

    Mushroom filling: Slice the onion thinly and sauté in a separate skillet with a pinch of salt. While it cooks, slice the mushrooms thinly as well. Cook over low heat until the mushrooms release their water and start to brown with the onion. Set aside when done.

  4. 4

    Now make the tortillas for the quesadillas. Roll out each dough ball as thin as possible with a rolling pin. Cook each one in a hot skillet with a drop of oil over high heat. When bubbles start to form, flip it, cook for another minute, then remove. Repeat with all the dough balls.

  5. 5

    Once the tortillas are ready, assemble the quesadillas. The process is always the same: one tortilla + a little cheese + your chosen filling + more cheese + another tortilla. Make one of each (chicken tinga, ham and cheese, cheese, and mushroom and onion). Grill each quesadilla on a griddle or skillet until the cheese melts, then remove.

  6. 6

    For the pico de gallo, finely chop all the ingredients: a piece of the green onion top, tomato, both types of bell pepper, and cilantro. Dress with lime juice, salt, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
    I use the green onion tops because they add a richer, more intense flavor. We often throw them away, but this is a great example of how you can use every part of an ingredient!

    Once all the quesadillas are ready, cut them into triangles and serve with the pico de gallo for a fresh touch. Hope you enjoy!
