Step 1
Crumble chicharrón into bite-sized pieces, breaking apart any large chunks.
Step 2
Warm a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Lay one tortilla flat in the dry pan.
Step 3
Place half the cheese on the tortilla, then sprinkle half the chicharrón, onion, and cilantro.
Step 4
Top with remaining cheese, then lay second tortilla on top and press gently.
Step 5
Cook 2–3 minutes until tortilla is golden and crispy underneath, then flip carefully.
Step 6
Drizzle 0.5 tbsp oil on the skillet edge. Cook 2 minutes until second side is golden.
Step 7
Slide onto a cutting board. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling to make second quesadilla.
Step 8
