Quesadillas
By: Chloe Coker
Quesadillas are a great store cupboard snack of lunch. They take 15 minutes to make, you can fill them with whatever you have in the fridge and serve them with some homemade dips.
Instructions
4 flour tortillas/wraps
100g grated cheese (cheddar or red Leicester works well)
2 tomatoes, chopped
optional: ½ chilli finely chopped
optional: chopped coriander
optional: ½ red pepper chopped
optional: 2 spring onions, sliced
optional: 200g kidney beans, crushed
optional: roasted sweet potato
optional: spicy sauce
olive oil
- Grate the cheese and place in a bowl with the chopped tomatoes and any other filling ingredients that you are using.
- Warm the tortillas according to the packet instructions (this makes them more pliable).
- Lay a tortilla on a board, spread the mixture over half of the tortilla, then fold over the other half and press down.
- Place a large frying or griddle plan over a med-high heat. Brush the tortilla with olive oil and dry fry for a couple of minutes on each side until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is crisp.
- Cut into triangles and serve with guacamole & salsa.
