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

  1. oven to 100°C (if using to keep quesadillas warm). Line an oven tray with baking paper. Preheat a sandwich press (if using).
  2. Combine all Mexican salad ingredients in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Toss to combine just before serving.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. In a small bowl, mix sour cream with chipotle sauce.
  7. 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
