Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.
- 2 large flour tortillas (about 30 cm)
- 1½ cups (180 g) grated Jack cheese (or tasty cheese)
- 300 g chicken thigh fillets, grilled and sliced (or leftover roast chicken)
- ½ cup pico de gallo (diced tomato, red onion, coriander, lime)
- ½ cup guacamole
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tsp ground cumin and 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Butter or oil, for the pan
Method
- Season the chicken with cumin, paprika and salt, grill or pan-fry until cooked through, rest, and slice.
- Lay a tortilla flat and scatter cheese over one half, then the chicken and pico de gallo. Fold the other half over.
- Cook in a lightly buttered pan over medium heat 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the tortilla is crisp and the cheese has melted right through.
- Rest 1 minute, then cut into wedges.
- Serve with guacamole and sour cream for dipping. Tip: keep the fillings in a thin, even layer — an overstuffed quesadilla leaks cheese into the pan and will not crisp — and press gently while it cooks so the cheese glues the two halves together.
