Ingredients

  • 12 7-inch flour tortillas homemade () (I highly recommend this recipe from Rick Bayless)
  • servings picked jalapeños sliced
  • 10 ounces queso quesadilla fresh shredded with mexican cheeses),

Equipment

  • grill
  • panini press

Directions

  1. Heat the panini press to medium-high heat. If your panini press comes with flat plates, I’d recommend using them.For each quesadilla: Arrange a handful of cheese on top of one tortilla. Scatter jalapeños over the cheese, if using. Close the quesadilla with a second tortilla.Carefully transfer the quesadilla to the panini press and close the lid (if your press has a height adjustment feature, adjust it so the upper plate rests on the quesadilla without squeezing it too much). Grill each quesadilla, one at a time, with the closed until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are browned and toasted, about 3 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve with condiments such as salsa, guacamole and sour cream.
