How to cook deliciously - Broccoli and Cheddar Quesadillas

1 . Stage

Blanch and chop the broccoli: Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and blanch until it’s bright green and fork tender, about 3 minutes. Then drain the broccoli, let it cool slightly and chop it finely.

2 . Stage

Make the pico de gallo: If you’re using the Dad Add , now would be a good time to chop that stuff up (highly recommended). Combine the minced ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

3 . Stage

Preheat the skillet: Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat. If you haven't already grated your cheese, do it now.

4 . Stage

Assemble and cook the quesadillas: Brush one tortilla lightly with vegetable oil on one side and add it to the warmed skillet, oiled side down. Sprinkle a loosely packed cup of grated cheese (about 3 ounces) on one half of the tortilla. Top with 1/2 cup of chopped broccoli. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling and form a half-circle. Cook the quesadilla for about 3 minutes per side until it’s crispy and the cheese is melted. Repeat with making the other quesadillas. (Though if you’re good—and your skillet is large enough—you can make two at a time in the same skillet!)

5 . Stage

Serve the quesadillas: Cut the quesadillas into triangular segments, and serve with sour cream, avocado, and the spicy pico!
