How to cook it
-
Heat a dry comal or skillet over medium heat.
-
Lay a tortilla on the comal, scatter cheese over half of it, and fold it over as the cheese starts to melt.
-
Press gently and cook 1 minute per side until the tortilla is toasted and the cheese has melted through.
-
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and cheese.
-
Serve with salsa on the side. Note for the record: in Mexico City a quesadilla does not necessarily contain cheese, which is a national joke worth not getting wrong.
