Ingredients

8 6-inch flour tortillas
4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Filling
1 16 oz rib eye steak, grilled to medium rare, rested and sliced as thinly as possible
2 poblano chilies, roasted, peeled, seeded and cut into strips
2 oz Drunken Goat Cheese, grated
10 oz Chihuahua cheese, grated
1 Spanish onion, sliced and sautéed in butter until tender and brown

Melted chile cheese
3 oz Cotija cheese, grated
1 oz Ancho chili powder

Instructions

Combine all the filling ingredients in a bowl; add salt and pepper to taste. Lay 4 of the 8 tortillas on a flat surface and distribute the filling evenly. Cover each with another tortilla, forming a sandwich.

For melted chile cheese
Mix the chili powder and the cheese together. Sprinkle on top of each quesadilla while it’s still hot, and serve.

To cook the quesadillas
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a nonstick sauté pan on medium heat for 2 minutes, or until the oil ‘shimmers’. Place a quesadilla gently into the pan. When it has browned on one side, gently flip with a spatula. By the time the other side is brown, the quesadilla will be heated through and the cheese will have begun to melt around the edges.

Repeat for all 4 quesadillas.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
