Pro chef Saúl Montiel from Cantina Rooftop and home cook Jon are swapping recipes and hitting the kitchen to make a quesadilla. We provided Jon with all the ingredients necessary to make chef Saúl’s over-the-top $371 quesadilla recipe, sending only $13 worth of your typical, store-bought stuff back the other way. Will Saúl elevate Jon’s more modest materials into something gourmet? Can Jon keep up with the demands of Saúl’s recipe? Which quesadilla looks better to you?

@supernicral okay but how long is a chopped tomato going to last you? Or jalapeño or chicken you didn't use and so on. Also they tend to only account for portions on the cheap side, I'd have to rewatch the video to see if they did that here. If so then it's more like a 50$ vs 300$ which is a big difference in price still but honest

Jon if you want some easy advice for cutting vegetables that are relatively soft, push them through a wire cookie rack. They are relatively the same size, no matter what. They spill more juice than cutting but you're making salsa.
