Ingredients
- 4 dried ancho chiles
- 1 1/4 cups grated Gruyere
- 1 1/4 cups grated Monterey Jack
- 12 5-inch corn tortillas
- Lime wedges and/or salsa for serving
Directions
-
Remove stems and seeds from chiles. Place the chiles in a bowl, cover with warm water and soak until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain, pat dry and coarsely chop.
-
Combine Gruyere and Jack cheese in a bowl.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Briefly heat tortillas in the pan, turning once, until warm. Keeping the rest wrapped tightly in a clean dish towel, lay 4 tortillas at a time out on a clean cutting board. Sprinkle 1 tbsp. cheese on half of each tortilla. Top with about 2 tsp of the chiles, then sprinkle with another tbsp. cheese. Fold cold. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese and chiles.

Cook 4 quesadillas at a time in the pan over medium heat until crisp and golden on both sides, 3-5 minutes total. Cover to keep warm while you cook the next 2 batches. Serve immediately with lime wedges and/or salsa.
