Serves 2

Preparation time: 5 minutes 

Cooking time: 6 minutes 

2 tbsp tomato purée

1 tsp olive oil

1 tsp chopped garlic

1 tsp chopped red chillies 

2 soft flour tortillas

75g cooked chicken strips

2 spring onions, chopped

50g chopped red and green pepper

50g grated mozzarella cheese 

little oil, for brushing

Method 

In a small bowl, mix the tomato purée with the oil, garlic and chillies. Lay out one of the tortillas on a board and spread with the tomato mixture. Sprinkle over the chicken, spring onions, peppers and cheese. Place the second tortilla on top and press down.

Brush a large frying or griddle pan with a little oil and heat. When hot, add the quesadilla and cook over a moderate heat for 2-3 minutes. Press down with a spatula until the cheese starts to melt.

Place a large plate over the pan and invert the quesadilla onto the plate. Return to the pan and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and cut into wedges. Serve with a mixed salad and a little soured cream and guacamole.
