Ingredients :
  • 75g cooked chicken or pancetta or a mix of both (or same weight in veg)
  • 75g grated mature cheddar and edam
  • 4 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 jalapeno chilli, finely chopped
  • Large handful fresh coriander, chopped
  • Olive oil

Directions :

  1. Combine the meat and/or veg with the cheese spring onions, chilli and coriander. Season well.

  2. Heat a glug of oil in a large frying pan. Put one tortilla in the pan and top with the filling, leaving a narrow border around the edge. Put another flour tortilla on top, then press down gently. Cook over a medium heat, pressing down on the quesadilla, for 3 minutes or until the underside is deep golden. Carefully flip the quesadilla over with a fish slice and cook on the other side in the same way until the underside is toasted and the cheese is melted. Serve cut into wedges.
