Chorizo Quesadillas Recipe

Chorizo Quesadillas
Chorizo sausage is great in a quesadilla. These quesadillas combine chorizo with pepper jack cheese and green onions. The quesadillas are cooked in the pan, then sliced and topped with a fresh salsa. The salsa is a simple combination of tomato, cilantro, white onion, jalapeno pepper and salt. It is important to have good chorizo sausage for this recipe. I find that a lot of the chorizo from the store does not meet my expectations but I can sometimes find fresh made chorizo from the meat department. If you want to make your own chorizo I have a delicious recipe for it on here. I like to serve these quesadillas with Mexican rice. Enjoy.
