Boudin Quesadilla

[indaswamp]

This is a non-traditional cajun meal...with the influx of the large spanish/mexican community, this dish just sort of took off in recent years. And it is GOOD!!!

First, uncase the boudin into a frying pan with bout 1 tsp. if bacon grease. Fry the wet boudin over medium heat until the water evaporates and the ground/dissolved skin makes a crust. This is what you want! Be sure to scrape the pan and get it all free then mix it back into the boudin. Fried boudin has a very distinctive texture and flavor from this crust.

Next, in a different skillet, toast 2 flour tortillas on one side each. Now you are ready to assemble. Place 1 tortilla toasted side up in the skillet, add 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, add boudin, more cheese, then tortilla toasted side down.

toast both sides of the quesadilla then cut into 4....

That looks really tasty, even if I've never had boudin. That and cutting it in 4 pieces would indicate I was gonna share, which I would probably not.

Gonna have to try this. Still have quite a bit of boudin in the freezer, made with your recipe Inda. Only thing I do differently is I usually smoke it when I'm done. Labor intensive for sure, but worth it!
