Step 6: Roll It Up
Fold the sides inward, then roll from the bottom up, keeping everything tightly packed — just like a burrito.
Step 7: Toast to Perfection
-
Heat a clean skillet or pan over medium heat with a little butter or oil.
-
Place the Quesarito seam-side down and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
-
Slice in half and admire those cheesy, saucy layers!
🌮 Serving Suggestions
Serve your Cheesy Quesarito with:
-
Extra chipotle sauce or nacho cheese for dipping
-
Fresh pico de gallo for a burst of freshness
-
Guacamole or avocado slices for creaminess
-
A squeeze of lime for brightness
💡 Tips for Success
-
Use warm tortillas: They’re easier to fold and less likely to tear.
-
Go light on moisture: Don’t overload with sauce or sour cream before rolling.
-
Press and toast: Toasting seals the Quesarito and gives it that irresistible crisp edge.
-
Customize it: Swap beef for grilled chicken, shredded pork, or even black beans for a vegetarian twist.
🧊 Storage & Reheating
-
Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
-
Reheat: Toast in a skillet or air fryer for best results — the microwave will make it soft but not crisp.
-
Freeze: Wrap tightly in foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes.
