Ingredients
- 1 yellow pepper, seeds removed, diced
- 1 small mango, peeled and diced
- 8 cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
- 3 spring onions, chopped
- 1 tsp chopped jalapeño peppers (optional)
- 1 lime, juice only
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 flour tortillas
- 150g/5oz Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese, grated
- leftover cooked chicken, shredded, or other cold meat such as turkey
- 1 green or red pepper, seeds removed, finely diced
- small handful coriander leaves, chopped, plus extra to garnish (optional)
- soured cream and guacamole, to serve (optional)
Method
-
For the salsa, mix all of the salsa ingredients together in a bowl and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Tip the avocado into a mixing bowl with the lime juice to prevent it from turning brown. Add the garlic, crème fraîche and coriander and mash everything together lightly with a fork, keeping plenty of texture. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
For the quesadillas, lay two of the tortillas out on a flat surface. Top each with the cheese, followed by the chicken, peppers and coriander. Place the remaining tortillas on top and press down gently.
-
Heat a frying pan over a medium hot and add one of the quesadillas to the pan. Fry, without adding any oil, for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is crisp, the cheese melted and the chicken heated through thoroughly. Keep warm whilst you cook the second quesadillas.
-
To serve, cut the quesadillas into quarters arrange on plates. Spoon a little soured cream on top, garnish with coriander and serve with the salsa and guacamole on the side.
