Nut Free

This grilled chicken quesadilla uses quality ingredients for an all-time favorite snack or meal. Chef Maribel puts all the love in the details, using her signature achiote marinade on the chicken, which is complemented by caramelized onion, poblanos, and tomato in the filling. Melty Oaxaca and pepper jack cheeses add richness, and a lightly toasted flour tortilla envelops all these tasty ingredients. Served with a side of roasted tomato salsa and Mexican red rice with corn, carrots, and peas, this is everything you want and more.

About Maribel Rivero

Personal chef and cooking instructor in Austin, TX. My specialty covers foods from South America to North America. I'm motivated by the stories behind cooking and expressing that story into the flavor of the food. In 2017, my brother and I created Yuyo Peruano restaurant as a celebration of my culinary immersion throughout South America, where I connected with the people and the culinary community from Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, and Uruguay. I was recognized by the James Beard Foundation with a Best Chef nomination in 2019. Due to covid Yuyo closed with many other opportunities to cook for many more than I could have imagined through CookUnity.
