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

  1. Mix. Combine chicken, both cheeses, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper.
  2. Build. Lay one tortilla flat. Spread filling over half. Fold over to make a half-moon.
  3. Cook. Heat oil in a pan over medium-low. Cook the quesadilla 3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese has melted.
  4. 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.
