Street-Market Fried Quesadillas

Recipe View 3 mins Sauté Aromatics: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, then cook and stir onions and red bell pepper until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add corn and serrano pepper; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Incorporate garlic and cook 1 minute more.

Recipe View 3 mins Infuse the Hash: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add roast beef hash and chipotle pepper. Cook until the hash is heated and well mixed with the rest of the ingredients, about 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Recipe View 2 mins Soften Tortillas: Gently heat tortillas in a separate skillet, turning once, until they are soft and pliable, ready to be folded without cracking.

Recipe View 1 mins Prepare for Frying: Heat vegetable oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying but not smoking.

Recipe View 6 mins Assemble and Fry: Spoon 2 tablespoons of the hash filling and 1 1/2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese onto one half of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half, creating a quesadilla. Carefully fry in vegetable oil until quesadillas are gloriously golden and crispy, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
