Hatch Green Chili Quesadillas combine the smoky heat of Hatch green chiles, melted cheese, and crispy tortillas for a flavorful and satisfying meal. These quesadillas are easy to make, customizable, and perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

  1. 2 large flour tortillas
    1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
    1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
    1/2 cup roasted Hatch green chiles, chopped (fresh or canned)
    1/4 cup diced onion
    1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    Salt and pepper, to taste
    Sour cream or salsa (for serving, optional)

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses. Add the chopped roasted Hatch green chiles, diced onion, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and drizzle a little olive oil in the pan. Place one flour tortilla in the pan and evenly spread half of the cheese and chile mixture over it. Top with the second tortilla.
  2. Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted. Use a spatula to carefully flip the quesadilla halfway through to ensure both sides are evenly cooked.
  3. Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the pan and let it cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve with sour cream or salsa, if desired.

Notes

  • For a heartier version, add shredded chicken, beef, or pork to the quesadilla filling. Black beans also work as a great vegetarian protein option.
  • If you enjoy extra spice, try adding a few dashes of hot sauce or use spicy cheese like pepper jack.
  • Feel free to add diced tomatoes, bell peppers, or spinach to the filling for extra flavor and nutrients.
  • You can use any cheese combination, such as mozzarella, queso blanco, or cream cheese for a creamier filling.
  • Quesadillas can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave for the best results.
