Mexican Quesadilla with Chorizo and Potatoes

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You'll boil and mash potatoes, fry chorizo, then layer it all with melted cheese between warm tortillas and pan-fry until golden and crispy. The whole thing comes together in about 30 minutes, with most of the action happening on the stovetop—just watch for that perfect golden crust on each side before serving with sour cream for dipping.

About this recipe

We tried this combination in Mexico, in a little town called Valladolid, while driving from Mérida to Tulum, and it was love at first bite. It's such a simple combo. Personally, I'd never have thought of stuffing potatoes into a quesadilla, but honestly, it's really, really good. So come make it with me and see for yourself. We always eat our tortillas with some kind of dip, either sour cream or salsa. I like to make them on a crepe pan best, since it barely has any edges and the tortilla lies flat and spread out nicely. But a large regular frying pan works just as well.
