2 links of Spanish Chorizo sausages (smoked pork sausage spiced with cumin and garlic), cut up into chunks
1 small or 1/2 medium onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 jalapeño, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
handful cilantro/coriander, finely chopped
1 tsp EVOO and some for brushing on the quesadillas

black pepper
2 (8-inch) flour tortillas

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and add the onions, garlic, jalapeño and the sausage chunks and sauté for about 5 mins till the onions are soft and the sausage is cooked. Add the cilantro and season with salt and pepper and take it off the heat.
Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Top with the sausage filling and the cheese, spreading evenly over 1/2 the side of each tortilla. Then fold over the remaining 1/2 side of the tortilla and press to seal.
Heat a large grilling pan over high heat. Brush one side of the stuffed tortillas with oil and place that side onto the grilling pan. Then brush the other side with oil. Leave it untouched over medium heat for about 3-4 mins till the cheese melts and deep golden brown grill marks appear on the bottom side. Turn it over and similary cook the other side for 3-4 mins.
Let cool for a few minutes. Slice into 4 wedges and serve with the guacamole.
