Quesadillas are known throughout the world, but it’s a shame that their slightly less buttoned-down cousin, the sincronizada, hasn’t gotten famous yet. These Mexican ham and cheese melts are both easy to make and delicious.

Why not try making it for yourself and give it a taste? Here’s how.

Ingredients:

• 2 large corn tortillas
• 2-3 slices of deli ham
• 2 slices of any kind of mild, white cheese
• Cholula hot sauce, to taste
• 2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions:

1. Start off by placing olive oil in a skillet on your stove. Take one tortilla, spread it on the skillet and allow it to get coated by a moderate amount of olive oil. Then, take the other tortilla and lay it down in the skillet.
2. After this, add the cheese to the tortilla. Next, sprinkle Cholula hot sauce on top of the cheese to taste, depending on how spicy you want it to be.
3. Finally, finish the sincronizada with the slices of ham and then add the other tortilla on top. Turn on the skillet to medium heat.
4. Allow the cheese to melt and the tortilla to slightly brown, and then flip onto the other side and allow the tortilla to slightly brown.
5. Take out of the skillet and enjoy!

This Tex-Mex dish, which was born on both sides of the border in the early 20th century, consists of strips of grilled meat that have been combined with sliced peppers and onions in order to make the filling for tacos or burritos.

My favorite way to prepare fajitas is with chicken, and it’s so easy to make at home. Here’s how to prepare your own perfect chicken fajitas in the comfort of your own kitchen.

Ingredients

• 1 large chicken breast
• ½ red pepper
• ½ green pepper
• 1 medium onion
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tablespoon garlic powder
• ½ tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon cumin

Instructions

Start off by cutting the large chicken breast into thin strips. Go ahead and season the chicken with half of all of the spices and then set aside.

Next, you’ll want to slice the red and green pepper as well as the medium onion into thin strips. Go ahead and put them into a large skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil and add the other half of the spices into the pan. Sautee them on medium-high heat until they start to soften.

After this, add the chicken cuts into the pan. Reduce the pan’s heat slightly, and then leave the chicken inside to cook thoroughly with the peppers and onions for approximately 5 minutes.

Your fajitas are done! Now, you can serve them in tacos or burritos with other ingredients like sour cream and guacamole. Enjoy!

While some quesadillas only include cheese and/or meat, it’s also easy to make veggie-based quesadillas. This option is vegetarian and healthier.

Check out this recipe for spinach and tomato quesadillas that is devilishly easy to make.

Ingredients

• 2 flour tortillas
• 100 g fresh spinach leaves
• 1 Roma tomato
• 100 g Colby Jack Cheese
• 1 tbsp butter
• Salt

Instructions

Start off by rubbing the butter on one side of each of the two flour tortillas. These will be the outer sides of the tortilla. Place one of them, buttered side down, in a pan on the stove.

Next, wash the spinach leaves and the Roma tomato under running water. You’ll then want to dice the tomato into small chunks.

After this, sprinkle the colby jack cheese on top of the tortilla that is in the pan. Place a layer of diced tomato on top. Finally, spread out the spinach leaves evenly on top of the cheese and tomato.

Now, it’s time to put the other tortilla on top and put the stove on medium-high. Cook until the tortilla is golden brown, and then flip.

Once both tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melty, your quesadilla is ready. Enjoy!

These Mexican-inspired chicken thighs mean that you don’t have to go out to a Mexican restaurant to enjoy these flavors. Check out this simple and easy-to-follow recipe here and get cooking!

Ingredients

• 4 bone-in chicken thighs
• Cholula hot sauce
• Garlic powder
• Cumin
• Smoked Paprika
• Black Pepper
• Lime Juice
• Olive oil

Instructions

Start off by taking the bone-in chicken thighs and placing them in a large stovetop pan. Once you’ve done this, take your olive oil and pour some into the pan. Coat the thighs with olive oil and leave just enough in the pan to coat it.

Next, give the chicken thighs a sprinkle with all of the spices. You can adjust the quantities of spices based on your own personal preference. I like to include plenty of garlic powder and go easy on the black pepper, but you can vary this based on your own tastes.

Next, take the Cholula hot sauce and douse the chicken thighs. Rub the sauce into the thighs so that they are evenly covered and given a thorough coat.

Next, you’ll want to add just a dash of lime juice on top of the thighs to give them a citrus kick.

Cook covered, on medium, for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Enjoy!

Ingredients

The ingredient list includes:
1 lb skinless boneless cooked chicken breasts
9 whole wheat flour tortillas
1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups salsa
1 15oz can refried beans
2 cups cooked brown rice
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

The meat should be cooked and chopped.

Instructions

Set the oven to 375 F degrees and prepare a baking pan with cooking spray.

Add 1/2 cup of the salsa to the pan and use a spoon to achieve an even layer. Top it off with 3 tortillas. The size of the pan should be 9×13 inches.

The next step is to add 1/3 of the chicken meat on top of the tortillas.

Continue with 1/4 of the beans, 1/4 cup of the cooked rice, and 1/2 cup of the cheese.

Now, add three more tortillas, and continue layering with the rest of the beans, rice, and cheese. Add the remaining salsa on top of the cheese.

Get foil and cover the baking pan. Cook it in the oven for half an hour. When it’s done, all you have to do is cover the top with Greek yogurt.

Recipe

1. Start by cutting out the seeds of a few dried chilies of your choice, whether that is ancho, guajillo, de arbol, something else or a combination.
2. Then, put the peppers into a bowl and cover with hot water to rehydrate for 20-30 minutes.
3. In the meantime, put 4 tomatoes, an onion, a few garlic cloves, and a spicy pepper of your choice into the oven to broil until they are slightly blackened.
4. Rinse off the peppers and add them to a food processor with the veggies. Alternatively, you can use a stick blender. If you need a little liquid to help it along, use water or stock. The soaking liquid will probably be bitter, so taste it first if you want to use it.
5. Puree everything and then strain into a pan or pot to cook and thicken.
6. Season with salt, cumin, oregano, cayenne or chili flakes, cinnamon, and sugar if it tastes bitter.
7. Cook for 20-45 minutes, save it for later or use immediatly!
