Ingredients
For 2 portions
- 4 8 inch wheat tortilla
- 100g cheddar cheese
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 small red bell pepper
- 1 small onions
- 1 medium tomato
- 2 Tbsp salsa
Method
- Thinly slice the onion and red pepper. Dice the tomato. Slice the avocado. Grate the cheddar.
- Heat a little oil in a pan and soften the onion and pepper for 4–5 minutes until tender and lightly coloured.
- Lay two tortillas on a board. Scatter half the cheese, cooked onion and pepper, tomato and avocado over each, then top with the remaining cheese. Place the other two tortillas on top and press gently.
- Heat a large dry frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the tortillas are golden and crisp and the cheese has melted.
- Transfer to a board, cut into wedges and serve immediately with salsa for dipping.
