Carne Asada Pizzadilla
I have been entertaining the idea of using pizza dough instead of a tortilla in a quesadilla for a while now. I finally had the chance to try it last week and I loved how it came out. Making the dough super thin and assembling the whole thing on the grill was a great way to make it feel like both a calzone and quesadilla at the same time, and using carne asada as the filling made sure you didn’t forget it was still a quesadilla. This recipe is for the third episode of my summer youtube series which you can watch below!
Grill the carne asada on high heat to brown on the outside and retain a medium doneness on the inside.
Put the dough on an oiled grill for only one minute on the first side.
Fill with cheese, jalapenos, and thin sliced steak.
More cheese on top.
Fold it over.
And brown it really well on both sides.
Slice and serve! Lots of guac and pico.
This is so good. The bread get really crispy and the combo of grilled jalapeno and melty cheese is always a winner.
