Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 200 g cooked chicken, shredded
- 200 g mature cheddar, grated
- 100 g mozzarella, grated
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt + black pepper
- To serve: sour cream, salsa, guacamole
Method
- Mix. Combine chicken, both cheeses, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper.
- Build. Lay one tortilla flat. Spread filling over half. Fold over to make a half-moon.
- Cook. Heat oil in a pan over medium-low. Cook the quesadilla 3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese has melted.
- Cut. Slice into wedges. Serve immediately with sour cream, salsa, guac.
Tips
- Two cheeses. Cheddar for flavour, mozzarella for the stretch.
- Don’t overload. The cheese has to escape, not the filling.
- Medium-low heat. Crispy outside, fully melted inside. High heat = burnt.
