Ingredients
MEXICAN SALAD
- 1 punnet cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 1/4-1/2 red onion, finely diced
- 1 Lebanese cucumber, diced 1cm
- 1 sweet Palermo capsicum, seeds removed and diced 1cm
- 2 tablespoons chopped coriander
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vinegar (e.g. red wine, white wine)
CREAMED CORN AND BEAN QUESADILLAS
- 1/2 red onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 can refried pinto beans
- 1 can creamed corn
- 1 cup grated colby cheese (reserve cup for sprinkling)
- 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves and stalks
- 1 pinch chilli flakes (optional)
- 6 wholemeal tortilla wraps
CHIPOTLE SOUR CREAM
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 sachet chipotle sauce
TO SERVE
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Steps
-
oven to 100°C (if using to keep quesadillas warm). Line an oven tray with baking paper. Preheat a sandwich press (if using).
-
Combine all Mexican salad ingredients in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Toss to combine just before serving.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on low-medium heat. Cook onion for 2–3 minutes, until softened. Stir through paprika and cook a further 30 seconds. Remove from pan and place in a bowl, along with refried beans, creamed corn, ¾ cup of cheese, coriander and chilli flakes (if using). Season and mix well. Wipe pan clean.
-
Lay three of the wraps on a clean, dry surface and evenly spread with about a cup of the bean mixture. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup of cheese. Top with remaining wraps and press down firmly.
-
Return pan to a medium heat and drizzle with oil. Cook each quesadilla for 2 minutes each side, or until cheese has melted. Use a large spatula to help flip quesadillas over. Reduce heat if quesadillas start to burn. Set aside, in oven, to keep warm, if desired.
-
In a small bowl, mix sour cream with chipotle sauce.
-
Cut quesadillas into quarters and divide between plates. Serve Mexican salad on the side. Squeeze over lime juice and top with a dollop of chipotle sour cream
