Quesadillas
Ingredients:
1 carrot
2 spring onions
1 pepper (any colour)
1 x small 200g tin of sweetcorn
150 – 200g cooked chicken
140g cheese
4 large tortilla wraps
Method:
- Peel and grate the carrot
- Wash the spring onions and pepper. Slice the spring onions. De-seed and chop the pepper
- Drain the sweetcorn and scoop out into a small bowl
- Dice or shred the cooked chicken
- Grate the cheese
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. No need to add any oil for this recipe
- Open out a tortilla wrap and add some of vegetables and chicken to one side of it only
- Sprinkle over some cheese and then place a bit more cheese around the edge of the wrap, the side where you’ve placed the other ingredients
- Fold over the empty half of the wrap and place in the frying pan. Use a spatula to press down on the edge of the quesadilla, so as the cheese melts it sticks it closed. Cook on each side for 1-2 minutes (until the cheese has melted and both sides are browned).
- Repeat this with the remaining 3 wraps and ingredients and serve
* Any leftover ingredients or quesadillas can be kept in the fridge to eat for up to 2 days later.
* This is a brilliant recipe to use up leftover food
* You can use other vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, mushrooms, spinach, etc
* You can also use other protein foods like cooked ham, tuna, chickpeas / falafel or cooked turkey instead of chicken
