  • The quesadilla dimension only sees harder outside and softer within. If you were to flip the quesadilla the same conditions would apply.

    Fold a quesadilla, you get 4 crunchy to 2 soft parts. It’s a sandwich with a lmesoamerican slant.

    This is a simple manifold of crisp starched flatbread sandwiched between a melted cheese along with any accouterments as desired. Either flour or corn is used for this bicarbonate or nixtalmized corn flat bread, whereas the cheese is of the melty kind. Additional ingredients and choice of cheese is limited by cultural or societal limitations.

    Call to action: make them on the grill!

    As for stainless steel, just heft it.

    I believe that if you practice the mastery of “scorching hot and yet not burning”, and the art of “smokeless but still very hot oil”, you too can have a nonstick experience but with more difficulty if wearing pajamas and sorting out the coffee situation.

    I really don’t want to be esoteric like the cult of cast iron, but if you hear “copper cladding”, just run for your lives! [as many as you can muster]




  • Pasteurize

    Get hot boiling a steamer, put empty clean canning jars in. Steam for 30 min.

    Take jars out with tongs. Add oil. Steam again for 1 hr.

    Or just look up how to do canning at home. Heat kills the bugs, chili oil doesn’t give a flying doo-diddly about getting hot, bugs do.



  • Slicing is superior. Pre-shredded has some anti-caking and other additions that are not cheese. You want cheese and not the convenience and falsehood of industrial shortcuts.

    Random suggestions to ignore: Sauté some thinly sliced onions and peppers and the fillings, drain if too juicy and then add them to the cheese. If you’re crafty, you can wipe down the pan and reuse it to get a crust on it too by heating the inside tortilla first.

    ¡Provecho!


  • Not Quesadilla policía… however some hints to transcendent crunchy goodness:

    -toast the insides first. Crisp one side of tortilla. Put toppings on it. Crisp other side and put on top. Crispy faces insides. Continue as before. Flip. Etc. This makes it 2x crispy and reduces time to melt. -use white melty cheese like Munster or Monterey jack, Oaxaca or heck mozzarella.

    Add cilantro, drained chorizo/soyrizo sauté some onions and jalapeños. You are doing great, better is potentially available.






  • If making a soup, then they will cook in about 5 minutes. So peel and clean and add them at the end.

    If you’re adventurous, boil the shells and strain the water for shrimp stock, then make the soup base with your vegetables and then add them at the end since they cook quickly.

    I’d recommend adding butter and cream with dill and lemon… or maybe add fish and make a seafood stew with a tomato base.

    Good luck!
