From the Test Kitchen

These vibrant quesadillas are loaded with chorizo, poblano peppers, and melty cheese, which get rich, earthy spice from our guajillo chile pepper sauce. A crisp and creamy romaine salad, dressed with a zesty combination of guacamole and ranch, rounds out this Mexican-inspired delight.

Prepare the ingredients
1 Prepare the ingredients

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater. Roughly chop the lettuce. Halve the tomatoes. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers. Quarter lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Thoroughly wash your hands, knife, and cutting board immediately after handling. In a bowl, combine the sour cream and cilantro sauce. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

Make the filling
2 Make the filling

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chorizo and sliced peppers. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 7 to 9 minutes, or until browned and the peppers are softened. Add the guajillo sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined and the chorizo is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

Assemble & cook the quesadillas
3 Assemble & cook the quesadillas

Place the tortillas on a work surface. Evenly top one half of each tortilla with the grated cheese and filling; fold the tortillas in half over the filling. Rinse and wipe out the pan used to make the filling. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium until hot. Working in batches, add the quesadillas. Cook 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and the cheese is melted (adding a drizzle of olive oil in between batches). Transfer to a cutting board and immediately season with salt. Carefully halve each cooked quesadilla.
