# How To Make It:

01 - Set up three bowls: one with flour mixed with smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt; another with whisked eggs; and a third with panko breadcrumbs. Separate onion slices into individual rings.
02 - Dredge each onion ring in flour mixture, dip into beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry onion rings in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
03 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place a flour tortilla in the pan. Sprinkle evenly with one-quarter of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese blend.
04 - Arrange several fried onion rings over the cheese layer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon sour cream and sprinkle with fresh chives if using. Top with another tortilla.
05 - Cook for 2-3 minutes until bottom tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip and cook another 2 minutes until cheese is completely melted and the second side is golden.
06 - Remove quesadilla and let cool briefly. Cut into wedges and serve immediately with salsa, guacamole, and additional sour cream on the side.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The contrast between hot fried crunch and velvety melted cheese is the kind of thing that makes your eyes close involuntarily
  • These come together faster than delivery arrives and taste infinitely better
02 -
  • Overcrowding the pan while frying onion rings makes them soggy and they'll stick together
  • Letting the quesadilla rest for 60 seconds after cooking prevents the cheese from running out when you slice it
03 -
  • Keep one hand dry for flour and one hand wet for eggs to avoid massive breading clumps on your fingers
  • A cast iron skillet holds heat better and gives the most even golden color
