Sincronizadas~Doubled Stacked Quesadillas

The only sincronizadas or quesadillas I ever knew were prepared with corn tortillas! All those times prepared homemade flour tortillas, why didn’t I ever think of preparing a quesadilla! Why? Lol!

Quesadillas, the Mexican version of the grilled cheese sandwich. They can be filled with almost anything and it’s a quick, filling meal. Sincronizadas means to be synchronized or in this case stacked. The quesadillas I grew up enjoying were strictly prepared with corn tortillas and simply filled with cheese. It was not until we moved to Texas in the early 80’s that I discovered quesadillas, the Tex Mex version.

Keep Scrolling to see the cheesiest single stacked ham sincronizada ever!

Enjoying and indulging in a cheesy quesadilla always makes me feel like a kid! All in moderation, of course. If you scroll towards the bottom, I have added some new photos of the sincronizada I enjoyed earlier today! Smoky baked ham and all!

Notes: The great thing about quesadillas, is that you really could fill them with almost anything!  Try adding some roasted chicken, shredded beef or spicy shrimp. A great quick meal!

Servings: 4 Servings

Ingredients

• 1 cup mashed pinto beans black beans or refried beans
• 1 cup sauteed peppers lightly seasoned, of your choice ( I combined poblanos, anaheims, jalapeños, green bell, red bell, and pickled cherry peppers)
• 1 1/2 cups of a good melting cheese such as monterey jack, Oaxaca, Chihuahua or queso quesadilla, shredded
• Avocado or grapeseed oil for brushing the tortillas
• 12 flour tortillas no bigger than 6 inches

Instructions

• Preheat a large griddle pan to medium heat for 3-5 minutes. 
• Lay out 4 tortillas, add enough beans to cover the surface of each tortilla. Add some cheese, another tortilla, a layer of peppers, more cheese and finally the last tortilla.
• Add a little oil to the griddle pan and add the quesadillas. Brush the tops with more olive oil and cover them lightly with foil paper. This will create a little steam and help melt the cheese. Flip over when nicely browned and cook for another few minutes.
• Remove from griddle and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Cut into quarters and serve with your favorite salsa.  

Notes

For the single stacked sincronizada: These were two 5 inch homemade tortillas with a generous amount of pepper jack cheese, thin sliced tomatoes, thin sliced jalapeños, this sliced onion and more cheese! When the cheese began to melt, te oils from the cheese were enough to crisp up the tortilla. I did not need to add any more oil.  Add cheese to both tortillas in the pan. Add ham, tomatoes, jalapeños and onions. Stack and continue cooking until desired crispiness. Serve with your favorite salsa!
