I admit it.  I got sucked into the sacrilege that was Top Chef Masters.  I bemoaned the lack of Tom’s presence and (yes, really) missed Padma, but I enjoyed it still.  Rick Bayless made it for me, as did Zooey Deschanel’s food restrictions.
In honour of Rick, I made his tortilla soup a little while ago and had two remaining tortillas.  I also had queso fresco and pickled jalapenos. And salsa.

And Coronation Street… we’re steady dating.

Queso Fresco Quesadilla

1. Crumble queso fresco on one side of one tortilla (I made two).  Place as many jalapeno rings as you can handle.  Salt and pepper.

2. Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray or grease with a little vegetable oil. Medium heat.

3. Folding tortilla in half, place on skillet.  For better crisping and melting, place something on top of the folded tortilla to press/weigh it down, such as another pan.  When browned to your liking (a few minutes), flip and repeat.  The second side will cook quicker.

4. Cut in half.  Salsa-fy.
