Recipe for Pico de Gallo
To Fold or Not to Fold - Sometimes I’ll not fold the tortillas, but leave them flat and make one quesadilla with two tortillas. This works fine when you have only a few ingredients, otherwise, flipping them can be quite difficult because the filling falls out if you're not careful. Once it's cooked, I'll cut the quesadilla in half.
Ingredients – A quesadilla can be vegan, vegetarian, or a meat lover’s supreme. All it takes is about a cup of chopped vegetables and precooked meat, if desired, and a touch of cheese (to hold it all together). Of course if you are vegan, omit the cheese.
Corn tortillas or flour tortillas? It doesn’t matter –we use whatever is in the fridge and we ALWAYS have one or the other.
Toppings – pico de gallo, your favorite salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or sour cream substitute, or nothing at all.
