Original recipe makes 8
3/4 poundbulk pork chorizo
5 (10-inch)Flour tortillas
1 16-oz canblack bean refried beans
1/2 poundcolby cheese; grated
1 cupfresh cilantro leaves; loosely packed
1.5 cupstomatillo salsa; store-bought (see Cooks Note)

Fast-off-the-Grill Chorizo Quesadillas Preparation

Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Use a spatula to crumble the chorizo as you place it in the pan. Saut the chorizo until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chorizo from the skillet to a plate.

Arrange 5 tortillas on a work surface. Spread about 1/4 cup refried beans evenly over half of each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Scatter about

1/3 cup cooked chorizo over beans. Scatter a generous 1/3 cup of cheese over top. Divide and arrange cilantro over top of cheese. Fold opposite half of tortilla over the filling. (The quesadillas can be assembled up to 1 hour before serving. Cover loosely with plastic wrap so they dont dry out, and

set aside at room temperature.)

Prepare a medium fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill on medium.

Brush outsides of tortillas with a small amount of oil. Using a wide spatula, transfer quesadillas to the grill. Grill on one side for about one minute, slide

and turn quesadillas 90 degrees, grilling until nice cross-hatch grill marks appear. Slide spatula underneath to flip quesadillas and grill the second side.

Transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the quesadillas into 5 wedges. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately accompanied with the tomatillo salsa.
