topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups tomato juice
  • 0.5 cups mescal
  • 1/4 tsp grated lime zest + juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 tsp grated orange zest + juice of half an orange
  • 2-3 teaspoons adobo sauce (from a jar of chipotle peppers)
  • 0.5 tsp dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
  • 6 frozen breaded stuffed jalapeño peppers
  • 1/4 cup broken tortilla chips
  • 0.5 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 wheat tortillas, 15 cm in diameter.
  • 3 thin slices of Muenster
  • Pickled jalapeño rings, for serving

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the jalapeños on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, turning once, about 15 minutes.
  2. Cocktail:

    Combine tomato juice, mezcal, lime juice, orange juice, adobo sauce, and oregano in a small pitcher; set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, place the tortilla chips in a zip-lock plastic bag and crush them into small pieces with a frying pan or rolling pin. Combine the chips in a shallow bowl with the chili powder, lime zest, orange zest, and 1 teaspoon of salt; set aside.
  4. In a small nonstick skillet, melt 1/2 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla, then top with cheese slices and the remaining tortilla. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to the skillet, and cook until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted, another 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 6 triangles.
  5. Thread the jalapeños, quesadilla pieces, and a few pickled jalapeño rings onto the top halves of two 12-inch wooden skewers. Wet the rims of two glasses with water and press them into the chip mixture. Fill the glasses with ice and the cocktail. Garnish with the skewers.
