Chef Maribel is sharing her go-to quesadilla that she eats at least once a week at home. Tortillas are cooked on la plancha (a cast iron skillet), then filled with cheese, potatoes, and Mexican chorizo cooked with what Chef calls the Mexican trinity—onions, tomatoes, and jalapeños. A tasty tomatillo salsa and a side serving of Mexican red rice with vegetables makes this the ideal meal any night of the week.

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.
