Olive, cheese and chilli quesadilla

Babiche Martens

Hot, oozing cheese served in a crispy tortilla is a drinks party hit. Tortillas are the most versatile of ingredients which you can fill with all sorts of options. A simple favourite is cheese and chutney or here I have filled them with chilli, cheese and olives.

Ingredients

2 cups	Grated tasty cheese (Main)
1 cup	Grated mozzarella (Main)
½ cup	Pitted black olives, chopped small
2 Tbsp	Green chillies, finely chopped (Main)
2 Tbsp	Chopped coriander
1 pinch	Salt, and freshly ground pepper
8 small	Corn tortillas, about 16cm each (Main)

Directions

1. Into a bowl place the cheeses, olives, chilli, coriander, salt and freshly ground pepper.
2. Lie 4 tortillas on the bench and even the cheese mixture between them, place another tortilla on the top.
3. Heat a frying pan to a medium-high heat. Spray with a little oil.
4. Lift carefully one pair and place into the frying pan cooking for 2-3 minutes before flipping and toasting the other side. Remove from the pan, continue to cook the remainder.
5. Serve hot, cut into wedges.
