Cheese & Sausage Quesadilla
Ingredients
-
1 lb pack
Sunset Farm Foods Premium Sausage in your favorite flavor (including mild, hot, jalapeno, cracked pepper, bell pepper & onion, or garlic, herb & sun dried tomato)
-
1 tbsp
oil
-
1/2 cup
green bell pepper cut into strips
-
1/2 cup
red bell pepper cut into strips
-
1/2 cup
sweet onion cut into strips
-
1-2 cups
shredded cheese of your choice
-
1 pack
large tortillas of your choice (flour, wheat, spinach, etc.)
Instructions
- Prepare the sausages by cutting into rounds to be seared.
- Sear the sausage rounds using a tablespoon of oil on medium heat (I use approximately 1 link per serving). Once seared, remove the rounds and set aside.
- Saute the peppers and onions in the remaining grease. Once soft, remove from heat and set aside.
- Wipe grease from the pan and spray with nonstick spray. Place tortilla shell in warm pan on low/medium heat. Cover 1/2 of tortilla with a thin layer of shredded cheese, followed by a thin layer of the sauted peppers and onions and then the sausage rounds. Top with another thin layer of cheese and fold the tortilla over, pressing down while the cheese melts.
- Once the cheese has melted enough so that the top tortilla portion is sticking (making it easier to flip), flip the tortilla over carefully and allow the other side to brown. Remove from heat and cut into 4ths.
- Serve with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
