"Remove the chicken and add red pepper and spring onions for a vegetarian alternative."

These chicken quesadillas are great for parties or as a replacement for your lunchtime sandwich or wrap. Spice them up by adding chilli flakes and coriander.

Ingredients

  • 4 small chicken fillets
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 sprays of cooking spray
  • 4 tbsp tinned refried beans
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 8 tbsp salsa
  • 100 g oz reduced-fat mozzarella

Method: How to make Chicken quesadillas

1

Cut the chicken into thick strips. Combine the cumin, paprika, garlic powder and pepper and season the chicken with this mixture.

2

Spray a griddle pan with cooking spray and cook the chicken over a medium-high heat until cooked through, turning once or twice only.

3

Heat the re-fried beans for a couple of minutes in the microwave and then spread over the tortilla. Top with the chicken, salsa and cheese, rolling or folding over the tortilla. If preferred, return the tortilla to the griddle pan for a few minutes to heat through, or microwave for up to a minute to warm through and melt the cheese.
