Queso Fresco Quesadillas with Peaches

Cuisine Mexican
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 2 Peaches Pitted and thin sliced or chopped
  • 1 Jalapeno Pepper sliced thin, seeds and veins removed if you want to lessen heat
  • 1/2 shallot thin sliced
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro leaves chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Lime juice fresh squeezed
  • 1 Tablespoon Orange juice fresh squeezed
  • 1/8 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 4 Corn tortillas 8-inch
  • 2/3 Cup Mozzarella cheese grated
  • 1/4 Cup Queso Fresco Cheese Crumbled

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the peaches, jalapeño, shallots, cilantro, lime and orange juices. Season with salt and set aside.
  • In a non-stick skillet, heat 1/2 teaspoon of the oil. Place one tortilla in the skillet and scatter half of each of the cheeses evenly over the top. Top with the second tortilla and cook over moderately high heat until crisp on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
  • Carefully flip it over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and the second side is golden. Repeat with the remaining oil and second quesadilla. Slice the quesadillas into wedges, transfer to a plate, and spoon the peach mix over the quesadillas.

Notes

Look for queso fresco cheese in the Mexican produce section of your grocery store.
