About This Recipe

What is a quesadilla? Pure wonderfulness, that what it is! I mean for me sometimes the most simplest of things are great, and quesadillas are just that. They are a blank canvas for you to do with whatever you would like. Want to beef in it? Go ahead. Want to add chicken to it? Go for it. Want to throw in veggies? Throw you inhibitions out the window and go for it. In this recipe we are adding using chorizo and adding in some jalapenos to give it a little extra kick.

Cheesy chorizo goodness

What To Serve With Your Chorizo Quesadilla

If you are going to stick with a traditional Mexican style meal you can easily team up you chorizo quesadilla with beans and rice. I love using refried beans. They are fast, convenient, and easy to make. One of my favorite ones comes from Trader Joe’s. It is their refried beans with jalapenos. When it comes to your rice choices you can make your own or use on of the many box mixes out there. While I prefer homemade my favorite box mix is from Rice A Roni. They have a Spanish rice and a Mexican style I highly recommend adding in the can of diced tomatoes to the Mexican Style as well.
