Quick Snack - Chourico Quesadillas

The future In-Laws are coming tomorrow. My fiance told his father to get ready for a feast... so, in between planning Sundays menu and cleaning the whole apartment I decided to make myself a quick snack to re-energize. After cleaning my fridge I was left with a few goodies: tortillas, black bean and corn salsa, shredded cheddar cheese, extra sharp cheddar cheese (cubed)
and some parsley. In an attempt to keep the mess to a minimum I heated about half the chourico in the microwave (sliced thinly in bite size pieces) while I put two tortillas on a non-stick pan to heat them up. Normally I would have heated the chourico in the pan but I was going for quick and easy today.

I flipped the tortillas over a few times until they were warmed on both sides, but not toasted. Once warmed through, I took the top tortilla off and add shredded cheese, then the chourico, a little parsley (only because that's what was in my fridge - if I were to make them again I would use cilantro), then the cubed extra sharp cheddar cheese - cover with tortilla.




Toast each side until lightly golden then place on plate to cool. Serve with corn & black bean salsa and ENJOY!

If you plan on recreating this tasty dish - be sure to use enough shredded cheese. I used all I had left, which wasn't enough. Also, I would recommend using cilantro (as I metioned before) rather than parsley.
