Serves 4 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Pickles, sliced
1/2 cup
Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons
Butter, unsalted
2 tablespoons
Flour tortillas
4 (8-inch)
Swiss cheese, shredded
2 cups
Pastrami, thinly sliced
8 ounces

Instructions

  1. Begin by spreading a thin layer of Dijon mustard evenly on one side of each tortilla.
  2. Next, evenly distribute the pastrami, Swiss cheese, and sliced pickles on half of each mustard-spread tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half, covering the fillings to form a half-moon shape.
  3. Heat unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it melts and starts to bubble.
  4. Place the prepared quesadillas into the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortillas turn a golden brown and the cheese has completely melted.
  5. Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. This will make cutting them into wedges easier and keep the melted cheese from oozing out.
  6. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm. Accompany with extra pickles and Dijon mustard on the side for those who desire extra piquancy.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra crispy tortilla, you can lightly brush the outside with a bit of melted butter before cooking.
  • 💡 If you prefer, you could also use corn tortillas for a more traditional feel.
  • 💡 This recipe is quite versatile. Feel free to add or replace ingredients as per your taste preference.
