Flat Top Cheesy Egg and Chorizo Quesadillas

Steps

• 1

  In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  Ingredients

  • 4 Large eggs

  • 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher salt

  • 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

• 2

  Heat 2 adjacent zones on the flat top to medium low and one zone to medium for 10 minutes.

• 3

  Drizzle or squirt the oil over the medium heat zone (you’ll use the other two zones to heat the tortillas later), then use a spatula to spread the oil in a thin layer. Add the chorizo and cook, flipping it, breaking it up into small pieces, and scraping excess grease toward the grease chute, until browned, 6 to 7 minutes.

  Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoon canola oil or other neutral flavored oil with a high smoke point

  • 9 Ounce fresh bulk chorizo

• 4

  Gather the chorizo up, make a bit of a well in the center, and pour the eggs directly on top of the chorizo. Stir until the eggs begin to set and are cooked to your liking, about 30 seconds.

• 5

  Place the 4 tortillas on the other two zones and divide the cheese among them, sprinkling it evenly. Divide the chorizo-egg mixture among the tortillas and cook until the tortilla is golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Fold the tortillas in half. Continue cooking until the cheese has melted, another 1 to 2 minutes.
