As mentioned before fajitas are very popular in this house so I thought I take them to the next stage and make quesadillas. I wish I had realised how easy they are to make before, they are now on my list of what to do with leftovers.

The other thing I loved about this recipe is how colourful it is. Mexico food seems heavy on the vegetables which I felt we missed last week in Texas.

The recipe I chose to make was from The Hairy Bikers; chicken and cheese quesadillas with guacamole, sour cream and mango salsa. You may notice from my picture that there was no guacamole – no one in our house eats guacamole so that wasn’t a battle worth having!

Steps

1
Done

For the salsa, mix all of the salsa ingredients together in a bowl and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

2
Done

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.

3
Done

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.

4
Done

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.
