METHOD

  1. Heat frying pan over high fire, then reduce it and brush frying pan with oil.
  2. Place one of the tortillas on the pan, sprinkle with ⅛ of the cheese.
  3. Then place ⅛ of any other ingredient on the top of the cheese, season with chilli sauce.
  4. Using spatula fold tortilla in half. Serve to the plate.
  5. You can also cut it into 3 triangle pieces before serving to the plates.
  6. Repeat the same steps with other 7 tortillas.
  7. Serve immediately.

Serves 4 people.

NOTES

You can also add some fresh coriander / cilantro.

Fry peppers, onions, mushrooms and other vegetables before placing them on tortillas if you don’t like them half raw.

Place less ingredients than I did, it will be easier to fold the quesadillas.

Serve with guacamole and salsa on a side, instead of using chilli sauce.
