Cooking Instructions
- 1
Clean and dice the nopales. Chop the onion and mince the garlic. In a skillet, cook the nopales, onion, and garlic over medium heat in their own juices for about 40 minutes. Once cooked and all the liquid has evaporated, set aside. If you buy pre-cleaned and diced nopales, prep time will be shorter.

Roast the guajillo chiles and tomatillos for about 50 minutes or until well charred. Toast the chile de árbol peppers on a gas grill. Once cooked, remove the husks from the tomatillos and stems from the chiles. Blend with 1 cup (240 ml) of water and 1 teaspoon of salt until smooth.
- 3
To assemble the quesadillas, heat a tortilla on a griddle or skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the nopales and cheese to one half of the tortilla, fold it over, and cook for about 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy on both sides.

Cut each quesadilla into four pieces and serve with the salsa. Enjoy!

Quesadilla Quesadilla
A quesadilla or sometimes specifically a cheese quesadilla, is a Mexican dish and type of taco, consisting of a tortilla that is filled primarily with cheese, and sometimes meats, beans, vegetables, and spices, and then cooked on a griddle. Traditionally, a corn tortilla is used, but it can also be made with a flour tortilla, particularly in northern Mexico and the United States.A full quesadilla is made with two tortillas that hold a layer of cheese between them. A half is a single tortilla that has been filled with cheese and folded into a half-moon shape. A quick version of the quesadilla, the cheese tortilla, is microwaved and often served to children.

Green Salsa with Tomatillos Green Salsa with Tomatillos
This is a variety of salsa that is often served alongside meals at Mexican restaurants. I find the green salsa more refreshing so I prefer it. Tomatillos are usually used in cooking after heating but I wanted a more refreshing flavour so left them fresh to make Salsa Verde Cruda.This is a well-known spicy sauce, just like Tabasco, that can be used in a variety of cooking, not just Mexican. Serve it on the side if you're using it for a party as people will have differing tolerances for spicy food. Please adjust the salt according to the type of food that you plan to serve this salsa with. You can use it to dip chips into as well (but it's quite spicy so be careful!) Recipe by dreamy-kitten

This is a classic salsa verde recipe with roasted veggies and peppers. It is heavy on the garlic as are many of my salsa recipes but it goes so well with verde sauces. This will be a solid medium heat and great with your favorite tortilla chips or on taco salads, or other Mexican cuisine as well as steaks!
