Ingredients
  • Sour Cream

    6 tablespoon

  • Red Onion

    1 unit

  • Eggs

    4 units

  • Cotija Cheese

    ½ cup

  • Mozzarella Cheese

    1½ cup

  • Fresh Red Salsa

    8 ounce

  • Red Wine Vinegar

    5 teaspoon

  • Lime

    1 unit

  • Flour Tortillas

    12 units

  • Guacamole

    8 tablespoon

  • Cilantro

    ½ ounce

  • Salt

    1 teaspoon (tsp)

  • Sugar

    1 teaspoon (tsp)

  • Cooking Oil

    2 teaspoon (tsp)

  • Black Pepper

    1 teaspoon (tsp)

Cooking steps
1
  • Place half the tortillas on a clean work surface and divide mozzarella evenly among them; top with remaining tortillas to form quesadillas.

  • Place quesadillas on a microwave-safe plate (we could fit three on one plate; it’s OK if they overlap a bit!). Microwave in batches until cheese melts, 1½-2 minutes.

  • Set aside to cool, flipping occasionally (this will help them cool evenly and hold together when you fry them in Step 4!).

2
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Roughly chop cilantro. Quarter lime.

Ingredient Quantities
  • Lime

    1 unit

  • Cilantro

    ½ ounce

3
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine onion, vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 TBSP water (2 tsp sugar and 2 TBSP water for 4 servings). Season with salt.

  • Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until slightly softened, 1-2 minutes. Set aside to pickle, stirring occasionally.

Ingredient Quantities
  • Salt

    1 teaspoon (tsp)

  • Sugar

    1 teaspoon (tsp)

4
  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Working in batches, add quesadillas to pan in a single layer. Cook, turning once, until browned and crispy, about 1 minute per side. Repeat with remaining quesadillas, adding more oil between batches as needed.

  • Turn off heat; transfer quesadillas to a cutting board. (Reserve pan.)

5
  • Crack eggs* into pan used for quesadillas (add another drizzle of oil if needed) over medium-high heat and cover. (Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to cook eggs in batches.)

  • Fry eggs to preference. Season with salt and pepper.

Ingredient Quantities
  • Eggs

    4 units

  • Salt

    1 teaspoon (tsp)

6
  • Cut each quesadilla into six wedges (to resemble tortilla chips).

  • Divide quesadillas between plates; top with salsa, guacamole, and a drizzle of sour cream. Finish with eggs, cotija, pickled onion (draining first), and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

    6 tablespoon

  • Eggs

    4 units

  • Lime

    1 unit

  • Guacamole

    8 tablespoon

  • Cilantro
