Cheesy Sausage Quesadillas
I had to use up the rest of my Oaxaca cheese and tortillas, so I made some more quesadillas with Beyond Meat sausage. A little extra savoury flavour boost. Guac, salsa, Baja sauce, and colourful garnishes. Don't forget the squeeze of lime!

- Begin heating a small non-stick set to just about medium. Once heated, crumble in your sausages and break them up into smaller crumbles as the sausage browns in the skillet. Browning all of the sausage won't take too long, 5 - 7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the meat to a small plate and wipe out the skillet.
- Wrap half the tortillas in a slightly damp paper towel and heat them in the microwave until soft and malleable. About 25 - 30 ish seconds. Remove, wrap the remaining, and heat them up as well until all of your tortillas are soft. Keep them wrapped as you start assembling the quesadillas.
- Lay 3 - 4 slices of the cheese on one half of the tortilla followed by a scoop of the cooked sausage. Fold them over, flip them on your work surface and gently press them down to hold their shape. You will likely be frying them in batches.
- Return your skillet to the heat and add a couple tablespoons EVOO. Once heated, fry your first batch of quesadillas until golden, about a minute and a half or so, flip, and continue until golden. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and continue until they're all fried up.
- Spread prepared guacamole on the tops of your quesadillas. I gave each plate a drizzle of Baja sauce before nestling 3 quesadillas down. Then, a spoon or two of green salsa, some spicy jalapenos, diced red onion, fresh cilantro, and a wedge of lime. ENJOY!
