One of the most popular Mexican dishes is quesadilla (Spanish: quesadilla, literally - cheese tortilla). Tortillas ( mexican tortillas) are laid between themselves with a filling, which may consist of vegetables, meat or minced meat, fish, mushrooms and always with cheese (Spanish queso). After the filling is placed between the tortillas, they are fried on both sides. Often, the filling is placed on only one half of the cake, and the second half of the filling is covered on top - it turns out a pocket in the shape of a semicircle.
This dish in Mexican cuisine has very similar variations - burritos (Burritos), fajitas (Fajita), enchiladas (Enchiladas), chimichanga (Chimichanga), in them the main components are also tortilla and filling, only the filling is wrapped in a tortilla in each dish differently, but in quesadillas, the filling is placed between the tortillas.

A little diligence the right ingredients- and a great Tex-Mex-style treat on your table. Home or guests will definitely appreciate your efforts.

First, prepare the minced meat. It can be ground beef only, or only pork, or a 50/50 mixture of ground pork and ground beef (in our stores, this mixture is called " homemade minced meat"). I prefer to cook minced meat myself, and, in my opinion, minced meat "homemade" is best. If you don’t want to mess with minced meat, store minced meat is quite suitable. We skip the meat through a meat grinder and set it aside for now. By the way, in Mexico it is considered good form not to grind the minced meat, but to chop the meat into small cubes.
Now it's the turn of vegetables - they need to be prepared for heat treatment. Tomato, sweet peppers and spicy pepper wash. Onion and peel the garlic. Cut the onion into medium-sized squares, the tomato into squares commensurate with the onion, pass the garlic through a garlic press.
Peel the sweet pepper from the stalks and seeds and cut into cubes, like onions, also remove the stem, white partitions and seeds from the chili pod and also finely chop. Chile may not be used - not everyone has an acute tolerance, and in Mexico, too, not all food is fiery. And lovers of "hot" can put more chili.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan, add onion, garlic and bell pepper to the pan and simmer over medium heat, stirring, until the vegetables soften.
Add minced meat, tomatoes and chili to the pan and continue to fry the contents of the pan, stirring and breaking up clumps of minced meat. We fry until the meat is ready and it acquires a fried appearance.
Add seasonings (freshly ground cumin and oregano) to the pan with the filling, salt and pepper the filling to taste.
Add canned corn to the pan.
Stir the contents of the pan and remove it from the heat. The filling for the quesadilla is ready.
Prepare the dipping sauce, this can be ready-made (purchased) guacamole, salsa, or homemade. For example, a mixture of guacamole and chili.
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
Divide the grated cheese into 8 parts (according to the number of tortillas). Each pile is then used in half for each quesadilla. Prepare tortillas (spread on the table). Sprinkle one half of the tortilla with half of the cheese from one heap of cheese. Repeat the same with all the tortillas.
Put the filling on top of the cheese (on the same half of the tortilla). Toppings can be put generously enough, from the heart (at the same time, take into account that if there is too much of it, then in the process of eating it can get enough sleep). You can (optionally) put slices on top of the filling. canned pepper jalapeno.
Then sprinkle the remaining half of one heap of cheese on top of the filling.
Cover the filling with the other half of the tortilla.
Pour a little vegetable oil into a dry, clean frying pan, heat it up and place the quesadillas folded in half in the frying pan. They need to be fried golden brown, first on one side, then, gently turning over, on the other. Inside the filling, the cheese will melt and glue the tortilla halves together. Cheese, by the way, you can put more. It definitely won't get worse! You can't ruin a quesadilla with cheese!
Transfer the cooked quesadillas to a serving dish. We cut each into sectors and put the dish on the table. We complement the serving with gravy boats with guacamole or salsa. Dip the triangle of quesadillas in the sauce and enjoy.

Add vegetable oil and gradually pour in water, kneading a soft, tender, non-sticky dough. cover the dough cling film and let rest for 20 minutes.

On a floured board or on a silicone mat, roll out the dough thinly with a rolling pin and cut out an even circle.

Roll out and bake the remaining cakes in the same way. Fold the finished cakes in a pile and cover with a towel. From this amount of dough, 12-13 cakes are obtained.

Peel and finely chop the onion. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, put the onion and fry, stirring, until golden brown.

Then add minced meat. Fry the minced meat with onions over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking up lumps of meat.

Wash the pepper, remove the stalk with seeds and cut into medium-sized cubes. Put the pepper to the minced meat with onions and fry for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Then add tomato paste, salt and spices, mix.

Mix well, simmer the filling for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Form a quesadilla, for this, put a little cheese on the edge of the tortilla.

Sprinkle cheese on top of the filling.

If the filling isn't too hot, microwave the quesadilla with the minced meat until the cheese melts. Serve hot, very tasty, hearty quesadilla to the table.
