Ingredients
  

Quesadilla Components
  • 2 large flour tortillas fresh and pliable
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate bar
  • 1.5 cups miniature marshmallows (plus a few regular-sized ones)
  • 4-5 sheets graham crackers crushed into fine crumbs
  • 2-3 tbsp unsalted butter melted, for toasting

Equipment

  • Skillet or non-stick griddle
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups/spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium to medium-low heat.
  2. Place graham crackers in a plastic bag and crush into a fine dust with a rolling pin or food processor. Reserve some whole pieces for garnish.
  3. Brush one side of a flour tortilla with melted butter. Place it buttered-side down into the preheated skillet.
  4. Build your first layer: Sprinkle half of the chocolate chips evenly over the bottom tortilla.
  5. Add the s'mores star: Generously mound the miniature marshmallows (plus any torn-up regular marshmallows) over the chocolate.
  6. Finish with more chocolate: Top the marshmallow layer with the remaining chocolate chips.
  7. Prepare the top: Brush the remaining melted butter onto one side of the second flour tortilla. Place it buttered-side UP over the s'mores filling.
  8. Gently but firmly press down on the entire quesadilla with your spatula to ensure even contact and help the internal ingredients fuse.
  9. Toast the first side for 3-4 minutes until it is perfectly golden-brown and the marshmallows are starting to slump.
  10. Carefully and quickly flip the quesadilla. Toast the second side for another 3-4 minutes, continuing to press gently, until perfectly golden-brown and the core is completely molten.
  11. Transfer the hot quesadilla to a rustic wooden cutting board or platter.
  12. Final finish: Dust generously with fresh graham cracker crumbs and garnish with whole pieces and loose marshmallows. Serve immediately with a fork to reveal the glorious molten interior.

Notes

Ensure you are using fresh tortillas and fresh miniature marshmallows for the ultimate molten result. Use medium-low heat to allow the internal ingredients to completely melt without burning the exterior.
