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.

SERVES 4 , 4 quesadillas (change servings and units)

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.

Salud!
