Get Creative With Your Quesadillas



Lovely little Mexican cheese toasties - quesadillas are ready in minutes and can be thrown together with anything you have in the fridge, as long as you have a couple of the essentials then you're ready to experiment!
Quesadilla mix

They also create hardly any washing up so are perfect for a quick, easy meal!



Ingredients -

Flour or Corn Tortillas

Filling base -
Grated mature cheddar or other cheese
Dry fry on both sides
A Pepper, finely chopped
Onion, finely chopped
Chili Sauce, to taste

Optional -
Chorizo
Chicken
Refried beans
Olives
Mushrooms

To Serve -
Chop in three
Guacamole, see Breakfast Burrito recipe
Soured Cream
Salsa
Salad
Extra chili sauce

  • Add the base and any optional ingredients for the filling to a bowl and, using a knife and fork, mix and finely chop everything together thoroughly.
  • Place a tortilla into a dry non stick frying pan, add the filling to one half, not quite to the edge, and fold in half pressing down (you can do 2 at once, just be a little careful when flipping them over).
  • Turn the hob on to a low / medium heat, you need to melt the cheese inside before the tortilla gets too brown, once the cheese is melting you can turn the heat up to crisp up the tortillas, turn halfway through to make sure the tortilla is crisp on both sides.
  • Take the tortilla out of the pan and chop into 3 triangles.
  • Serve with a salad, guacamole, salsa and soured cream.
