Special Quesadillas

From: Her Kitchen Addiction

Serves: 4-5

Ingredients:

2 cups Flour

1 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 tsp Salt

2 TB Butter

3/4 cup Water (plus a few extra tablespoons if needed)

1 (8 oz) bag Monterey Jack, Shredded

Oil for frying (24-32 oz.)

-Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until combined.

-Slowly add water and mix until dough forms. Then knead in flour until smooth (or mix in mixer for about 2 mins on low).

-Place the dough ball in a bowl and cover. Let sit for 20 minutes.

-In the mean time, fill a medium size sauce pan with Canola Oil and put over medium heat.

Let it reach 350 degrees.

-Once dough has rested, divide into 4 balls. Roll out to 1/8 inch thick and place mounds of cheese on one half. Fold the other half on top and cut out into 4 inch circles. (I used a mason jar lid). If you would like larger ones, cut into 6-10 inch circles.

-Once all of them are cut out and oil is at 350 degrees, you can start to fry! About 30 seconds on each side or until they float to the top and are golden brown. Move them to a paper towel to soak up excess oil.

-Top with Cilantro and Cotija Cheese if desired.

Bon Appetit!
