Ingredients
1 Tbsp | Oil |
1 | Onion, chopped |
2 Tsp | Mexican spice fajita mix |
300g | Tomato salsa |
400g | Red kidney beans, drained and rinsed |
½ cup | Coriander leaves, chopped |

1 cup (approx 80g) | Mainland grated mozzarella |
1 cup (approx 80g) | Mainland grated Tasty cheddar |

Directions
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat, then fry the onion for 7 minutes until softened.
- Add the spice mix and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the salsa and cook for 5 minutes. Add the beans, simmer for 5 minutes. Lightly mash the beans.
- Stir in the coriander and chicken. Spread the mix over 4 tortillas and sprinkle with the grated cheeses, then top with the remaining tortillas.
- Either fry each quesadilla in a sandwich press or frying pan (flipping over after 3-4 minutes), or put onto baking paper lined baking trays. Brush the tops with melted butter and put into a hot oven for 5-10 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes before cutting into wedges.
- Serve with sour cream, extra coriander leaves and pickled jalapeños.
