Cheese Quesadilla

About this Cheese Quesadilla

A quesadilla is a toasted, folded tortilla with melted cheese and filling inside: crisp outside, gooey in the middle. Cook the chicken and vegetables first, then fill, fold and brown them in a dry pan. It is the fastest meal in the Mexican repertoire and very popular with children.

How to prepare Cheese Quesadilla

1. 1

   Melt half the butter in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring, until golden and cooked through with no pink inside.

2. 2

   Add the pepper and onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Season with the salt and tip onto a plate.

3. 3

   Lay the tortillas on a board. Scatter cheese over one half of each, then top with the chicken mixture and a little more cheese. Fold the other half over.

4. 4

   Wipe out the pan, add a little of the remaining butter and heat over a medium heat.

5. 5

   Cook the quesadillas one at a time for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until golden and crisp and the cheese has melted.

6. 6

   Cut each into wedges and serve straight away, with salsa, soured cream or guacamole.
