Looking for something easy and delicious to pull together for lunch or diner? How about a little Carne Asada in your life? In the form of quesadillas. They’re super simple and you can have these on the table in no time at all. Or honestly, they might not even make it to the table because they’re that good you’ll probably be eating them straight off the cutting board because hello GOOD.

Quesadillas are so much more than just shredded cheese and tortillas y’all. Visit the Caciquedilla microsite to learn about how to incorporate Cacique’s authentic cheeses, creams and chorizos to make a truly authentic quesadilla that will blow your socks off.

The site is full of tips and techniques on how to make quesadillas simply or with a whole lot of flavorful flair.

You know you want to. I mean who doesn’t love quesadillas right?

CAST IRON SKILLET IS WHERE IT’S AT 

(The following contains affiliate links. I earn from qualifying purchases). For these quesadillas, we start out by cooking a flavorful filet in a cast iron skillet. Salt, pepper and butter are all you need for an amazing steak. I like to char my peppers on the gas stove top while making the beef.

If you don’t want to char your own, you can use oven roasted peppers or pick up a jar of peppers at the market. Up to you.

I like to prep mine into soft taco form before putting them on the hot pan to grill up to a melty perfection. It makes the cooking process go a little faster for me, and the faster I get to eat those the better.
