Time 30m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup grated white Cheddar cheese
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup grated pepper jack cheese
6 tablespoons salted butter
Six 8-inch flour tortillas
Pinch of kosher salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
One 4-ounce can diced green chiles, drained
9 fresh cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

Toss together the Cheddar, Monterey Jack and pepper jack in a bowl; set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in large skillet over medium heat. Place a single tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle a little less than a third of the cheese blend over the tortilla. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add about a third of the diced tomato and a third of the chiles. Sprinkle a touch more cheese over the whole thing and gently top and press with a second tortilla. Cook until golden on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
Carefully flip the quesadilla to the other side. Continue cooking until the second side is golden, 3 to 4 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Slice each quesadilla into wedges and garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Ingredients

2 red peppers , chopped into small pieces
140g red leicester , grated
4 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
8 pre-made pancakes
1 tbsp butter
1 garlic clove , crushed
½ tsp ground cumin
400g can kidney beans , drained
juice 1 lemon
1 red chilli , deseeded if you don't like it too hot, sliced (optional)
2 avocados , sliced
2 Little Gem lettuces , sliced

Steps:

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Scatter the peppers, cheese and coriander over 4 pancakes. Season well and cover each one with another pancake to make a sandwich. Place the quesadilla pancakes on baking sheets and cook for 5 mins in the oven until the cheese starts melting (you may need to do this in batches).
Warm the butter in a saucepan, add the garlic and cook for 1 min until fragrant, then add the cumin and beans. Stir for 2 mins, then roughly mash. Season, stir through half the lemon juice, spoon into a serving dish and top with the chilli, if using. Toss the avocado in the rest of the lemon juice, then serve the quesadillas with the beans, lettuce and avocado.
