Kimchi Quesadillas

Meet my favorite after-school snack. As far as the kimchi goes, the older the better—it’s the perfect time to use up that jar that’s been hanging out in the fridge. Giving the kimchi a quick sauté reduces excess moisture and concentrates its flavor. Using a low-moisture mozzarella or Oaxaca cheese (even better!) also helps prevent a soggy quesadilla without losing that ultimate cheese pull. Garlic salt lends these quesadillas extra-deep savoriness; it won’t be quite the same, but you can sub in an equal-parts mix of salt and garlic powder if that’s what you’ve got. Save that kimchi juice to swirl into a dollop of sour cream for an easy dipping sauce on the side.
