Ingredients
CHEESY BEAN QUESADILLAS
- 1 brown onion, finely diced
- 1-2 tablespoons quesadilla spice mix
- 1 carrot, grated
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 can mild chilli beans
- ½ cup vegetable stock
- 10 wheatmeal tortilla wraps
- Olive oil, for brushing
- 2 cups grated Colby cheese
CHUNKY SALSA
- ½ telegraph cucumber
- 2 tomatoes
- ½ red onion
- 2 teaspoons vinegar (e.g. red wine, white wine, cider)
AVO SMASH
- 1 avocado
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Steps
-
oven to 220°C. Preheat two oven trays.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Cook onion for 2-3 minutes, until soft. Add quesadilla spice mix, carrot and salt and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
-
Reduce heat to medium, add chilli beans and stock and simmer for 4-5 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Brush 1 wrap lightly with oil and place, oiled-side-down, on a clean board. Place ¼ cup of the bean mixture on one side. Sprinkle with grated cheese and fold into a half-moon shape. Set aside and continue with remaining wraps.
-
Place filled wraps on pre-heated trays and return to oven to bake for 6-8 minutes, until crunchy and golden brown. Swap trays halfway to ensure even cooking.
-
While quesadillas are baking, dice cucumber and tomatoes 2cm and very finely dice red onion. Toss in a large bowl with vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mash avocado with mayonnaise and season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
cut quesadillas in half to form wedges and pile onto plates with chunky salsa and avo smash.
