While pretty much anything can work inside a tortilla, a few of our favourite fillings are: salami and semi-dried tomatoes; roast chicken, feta and basil; baked beans and bacon; roast pumpkin and pesto.
Serves: 2
Ingredients
-
- 4 flour tortillas
-
- 185g grated cheese (use two types like cheddar, asiago, manchego or mozzarella)
-
- 1 long sweet yellow capsicum, seeded and slices (optional)
-
- 2 coriander sprigs, leaved stripped (optional)
To serve (optional)
-
- avocado, smashed
-
- natural yoghurt
-
- sauerkraut
-
- sweet chilli jam
Method
Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat.
Lay two of the tortillas on a clean work surface. Divide the grated cheese, peppers and coriander, if using, evenly between them, then top with the remaining tortillas.
Add one of the quesadillas to the frying pan and cook for two minutes on each side until lightly browned and the cheese has melted. Remove from the pan and cut into six or eight wedges, then repeat with the remaining quesadilla.
Can be served with smashed avocado, yoghurt, sauerkraut and sweet chilli jam.
