Quesadillas
For each flour tortilla wrap (makes three triangles):
-
1 flour tortilla
-
30g thinly sliced cured ham
-
3 coin slices pickled green jalapeño peppers, from a jar
-
50g grated cheese
-
1 spring onion, finely sliced
-
few leaves of coriander
-
1 tsp olive oil (not extra virgin)
-
ready-made salsa or guacamole (see below), to serve
Method
Step 1 - Heat a ridged griddle pan.
Step 2 - Place the tortilla wrap on the counter in front of you and cover with the ham.
Step 3 - Over one half only, sprinkle the pickled jalapeño slices, grated cheese and chopped spring onion. Scatter over the coriander leaves over the top.
Step 4 - Carefully fold the tortilla wrap in half, that's to say, fold the uncheese-topped half over the cheese so that you have a fat half moon.
Step 5 - Lift this up carefully and brush each side with oil before putting it onto the hot griddle, grill for a minute on each side
Step 6 - Using a steady hand and a wide fine spatula or fish slice, transfer the tortilla to a board or plate and cut into 3triangles. Eat with some salsa on the side. And please feel free to play with the fillings as you wish
