Mexican foodies love to say that authentic Mexican recipes like this one for easy quesadillas make it hard to imagine Mexican appetizers getting any more simple and easy to make. Quesadillas are a lot like the American classic: grilled cheese sandwiches– only we’re substituting corn tortillas in place of the bread, in order to bind our sandwich!

Quesadillas are perhaps most commonly thought of as a quick snack to whip up, or even a fast supper if you just make a few extra and you’re in a lazy mood, when you’ve had a long day and you’re not up for making anything super time consuming. Let’s go:

Time it takes to cook these: 15 minutes, more or less

Ingredients you need (serves 4 guests):

-some kind of Mexican salsa, like salsa bandera, or a guacamole–something to give your quesadillas a bit more flavor -roughly 200g of manchego cheese -8 tortillas (corn, not flour)

Directions for making these:

Heat up a cast iron pan on the stove on medium heat (regular pan if you don’t have one).

Slice the machego cheese into eight same size pieces.

Now prepare your favorite salsa (I’ve recommended a few above, in the ingredients list).

Warm up the tortillas one at a time, and as each is starting to heat up, add a bit of manchego cheese to it, then fold the whole thing in half so that it looks like a semi-circle cheese sandwich…thingy, and just allow it to heat up enough so that the manchego melts and you’re left with a delicious quesadilla.

Remove each when ready and then top with the salsa you made, and then enjoy your tasty creation: by far of the most easy Mexican recipes from the entire Mexican appetizers area of the Mexican cusisine.

Mexican quesadillas like the ones you just made are incredibly simple to cook and they work great as a little snack you can prepare and in a very small period of time, perfect for feeding to your friends who just happen to pop in when you’re short on time or for serving to children as a nice after school treat if they enjoy Mexican snacks and you think they’d like these authentic Mexican recipe appetizers. So until we cross paths again, keep playing with your food, experimenting with new Mexican food ideas, and enjoy your quesadillas and other Mexican appetizers! Provecho!

Alright, I’m going to show you how to make an authentic Mexican batter that you can use to take your shrimp taco recipes and make them even better. This batter is used for the authentic Mexican recipe for Baja shrimp taco recipes, but I’ve found the batter to be so good that you can use it on pretty much any type of taco that involves shrimp with a very positive result: it’s delicious! Here we go:

Ingredients:

• light beer – 100ml
• egg – just 1
• some pepper
• wheat flour – 1 cup
• a little salt

Instructions:

Using a bowl (cereal bowl is fine), add all of the ingredients. Mix it all for a couple of minutes, evening out any chunks of flour and ensuring the batter ends up not too thick and not too thin: it’s best if it’s somewhere in the middle, so if it turns out a little to think, then add some more flour to it and mix; or if too thick, then add a little more beer and mix. Try to get it right the first time though because if you start adding a little beer and then you take it too far and then you have correct by adding some more wheat flour, and you do it too much, you’re going to throw the proportions of the ingredients out of whack–you’d have to add more egg to maintain the same ingredient ratio and, thus, the same taste, and this is not a recipe you want to mess with because it is incredible as-is!

You use this batter by coating each of the shrimp you’ll be using for your taco recipes in the batter and then deep frying them. The batter will caramelize as the shrimp cook and you’ll be left with shrimp for your tacos that taste incredible.

Again, as mentioned before, this particular batter is normally used when making Baja shrimp taco recipes but you can use it on your shrimp for any shrimp tacos, really. I think you’ll love this recipe–it’s super tasty!–and if you try it and you do like it, you may also like to try cooking some other authentic Mexican recipes another time! Provecho!
