Who doesn’t love a quesadilla? They are so handy to whip up, and the filling can be whatever you fancy, meat, veg, fish, leftovers- you name it! It is basically a delicious circular cheese toastie - perfect for a speedy lunch or dinner.

Add to your supermarket basket....

Pick which supermarket you want to send your ingredients to:

Ingredients

bell pepper 1 (sliced)
red onion 1 (sliced)
garlic cloves 2 (sliced)
chicken breast 1 (sliced)
chipotle paste 1 tsp
plain tortilla wraps 4
grated mozzarella 100 g (grated)
natural yoghurt 2 tbsp

Method

Prepare the filling

Slice the bell pepper and red onion. Thinly slice the garlic cloves and chicken breast.
Start by frying the sliced bell pepper and red onion in a frying pan over a really high heat in a little oil so you get a really nice char on the veg!
Now add in thinly sliced chicken and garlic and fry for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, then add in your chipotle paste and have a quick taste. Season to taste.

Assemble & cook the quesadillas

In a frying pan pop in a plain tortilla wrap, some grated mozzarella, veg filling, more mozzarella on top of the wrap.
Gently heat the quesadilla, toasting on both sides until the cheese has melted and the wraps or crispy.

Plate Up

I like to serve mine with a dollop of yoghurt or you could also use sour cream!
