This crispy quesadilla recipe brings the crunch, while our original Chile Criollo adds just the right spicy kick. Simple, satisfying, and perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients:
12 Tortillas (buy the 'Street Tacos' style which are smaller)
8 oz Queso Fresco or Mozzarella (if you can't find it in the 'latino' section at your supermarket)
1 Cup Canola Oil 
1/4 Cup Chile Criollo

How to: 

1. Slice cheese thinly and place it in the center of each tortilla.

2. Fold tortillas in half and press the edges with dampened fingers to seal.

3. Pan-fry or deep-fry the quesadillas in about one inch of hot oil, flipping once or twice, until both sides are golden and crispy.

4. Let them drain on a rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.

5. Serve with Vigorón Cacao Chile Criollo  for a spicy kick.
