Quesadillas
Ingredients
- 14 freshly prepared unbaked tortillas
for the filling
- 8 oz finely chopped or grated Cheddar cheese
- 3 jalapeno chillies seeded and cut into strips
- salt
- oil for shallow frying
Instructions
- Have the tortillas ready, covered with a clean cloth. Combine the grated cheese and chilli strips in a bowl.
- Season with salt. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, then holding an unbaked tortilla on your palm, put a spoonful of filling along the centre, avoiding the edges.
- Fold the tortilla and seal the edges by pressing or crimping well together. Fry in hot oil, on both sides, until golden brown and crisp.
- Using a fish slice, lift out the quesadilla and drain it on kitchen paper. Transfer to a plate and keep warm while frying the remaining quesadillas. Serve hot.
