Hello everyone,

This week's theme for Steemit Culinary Challenge is very interesting. It's Mexican Food! :-) I love Mexican Food. Though we have a different style of food, I think most of Indonesian people will like it. There's one Mexican Restaurant in Brussels that offers all-you-can-eat menu for a normal price and it's quite nice.

Today I'll share with you my go-to recipe when I hold a party and invite a lot of friends. It's Quesadillas and Guacamole. I always receive a good feedback for this recipe and all guests simply love it very much. That's why I always serve this food, it's easy yet tasty. I used wheat flour tortillas for this recipe but you may use corn tortillas instead. The original recipe is from Jamie Oliver. He's not Mexican but I assure you, his recipe is just amazing and easy to make.

Quesadillas is a famous food from Mexico but the version of Quesadillas that use flour tortilla is originated from northeastern Mexico, as stated by Wikipedia below. People from central Mexico normally use corn tortilla instead.

Other variations include the use of wheat flour tortillas instead, especially in northeastern Mexico. Wheat dough is most commonly used in place of corn masa (corn flour or dough). In this case, the flour tortilla is prepared, folded and filled with cheese, exactly as the corn.[7]

As for Guacamole, it was the first salad developed by the Aztecs what is now Mexico and it's used in modern Mexican cuisine. Source: Wikipedia

FOR QUESADILLAS

Ingredients

• 6-7 medium flour tortillas, store-bought
• 2 big handfuls grated cheese, I used these following cheese: cheddar, affligem, and grimbergen
• 2 spring onions, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
• 1 handful cilantro or more if you like cilantro, chopped
• 2 chilies, deseeded and finely chopped

Methods

• In a large clean bowl, throw all ingredients except the tortillas. Mix well and set aside.

• Prepare the tortilla by following the instruction of the package. Mine should be sprinkled with water then stack them up, and put it in the preheated oven for one minute at 200°C. It can be done with pan or microwave.

• Fill in half of tortilla and fold it over. Do the same for the remaining tortilla and mixture.

• Heat non-stick frying pan over low-medium heat without adding any oil, place the filled tortilla, cook for about one or two minutes each side until the cheese melt. Be careful not to burn the tortilla.

• Cut into 2 or 3 parts and ready to serve with Guacamole.

FOR GUACAMOLE

Ingredients

• 2 avocados, desedeed
• 3 tomatoes, deseeded
• 2 spring onion, chopped
• 1 handful cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Methods

• Place the avocado, tomato, spring onion and cilantro in the food processor. Pulse until it becomes chunky.

• Season with salt, black pepper and lemon juice. Pulse again until quite smooth. If you can still see some chunks, it's okay.

• Transfer to a bowl and ready to serve with Quesadillas :-)

I started early morning to make this Quesadillas, at 9 am! For Sunday, it's too early but I dont mind because it's so good and is worth it. My partner and I were having this for our breakfast. Good food, happy tummy :-D
