- 8 regular size corn tortillas
- 10 oz queso fresco
- Pico de gallo salsa learn how to make it with our recipe. *
I recommend buying fresh corn tortillas; the fresher the better.
Prepare the pico de gallo and place it in the fridge until ready to serve.
Cut the queso fresco in long slices. Set aside.
Heat the tortillas on a comal, a pan or griddle, until warm and soft. Transfer them to a tortilla warmer (tortillero)
I don’t recommend trying to melt the queso fresco on the tortilla while warming the tortilla. First, it doesn’t melt the way you would expect, and second, it will just make your quesadilla soggy.
Take one of the tortillas add a slice (or two) of queso fresco and pico de gallo to taste. That’s it, enjoy!
