Quick Quesadilas

Quesadillas are a super way of using up cooked chicken and veg left over from a roast dinner. Of course you can pretty much put anything into them. I always have a pack of tortillas in the freezer for those days you just cant find the time or the energy to cook and lets face it this weather is way too good to be stuck to the stove.

Chicken Quesadillas

For mine i basically raided the fridge here. So i have
Cooked chicken shredded,
Red and yellow peppers finely sliced,
Parsley chopped
Red onion marmalade
Mayonnaise
Mozzerella
Spring onions and
sweet corn.
2 wholemeal flour tortillas for one quesadilla

Smear one of the tortillas with mayonnaise and build up like a pizza. Or simply mix all your ingredients in a bowl and layer on together. Place the other tortilla ontop and squash down. Overfilling will make it very difficult to transfer onto the pan.
Rub a frying pan with some kitchen paper with a bit of tasteless oil, you dont want pools of oil just a light smear to help it crisp. Heat the quesadilla slowly for a couple of minutes, place the pan under the grill for a couple more minutes to help melt and brown the top side. Then simply slide onto a chopping board, slice in quaters and serve with a salad or potato wedges. Much nicer and less stodgy than a bought in pizza.
