Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat a medium saucepan over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the oil and heat for 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add the onion and sauté for 1 minute, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, salt and cumin, mix and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Add the kale, chipotle sauce and black pepper, mix again and cook for 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, preheat a skillet or pan over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Keep the temperature low so the tortillas don’t harden or overcook before the cheese fully melts.

  5. 5

    Turn off the heat under the saucepan, stir in the Grated V&V Supremo® Sierra® Brand Cotija Cheese and set aside.

  6. 6

    Warm the tortillas for 1 minute on one side. Flip the tortillas and add ¼ cup of V&V Supremo® Shredded Chihuahua® Brand Cheese or V&V Supremo® Shredded Mexican 3 Cheese Blend and 2 tbsp. of the kale mixture to each.

  7. 7

    Fold the tortillas in half and cook for 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the quesadillas are golden brown, flipping occasionally with a spatula so they don’t burn.

  8. 8

    Serve the quesadillas with V&V Supremo® Crema Supremo® Brand Mexican Sour Cream.
