Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ gas 6
Peel and finely slice your sweet potato[es] into discs
Add the sweet potato discs to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil
Put the tray[s] into the oven for 12-15 min or until softened

While the sweet potato is cooking, peel and finely chop your red onion[s]
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add most of the chopped onion (save the rest for later!) and your diced chorizo with a crack of black pepper and cook for 6-7 min or until the onion has softened

While the onion is softening, peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Once softened, add the chopped garlic and your ground cumin to the pan and cook for 2-3 min further or until fragrant
Grate your cheddar cheese

Once the sweet potato discs have softened, remove the tray[s] from the oven and add them to the pan and give everything a good mix up – this is your chorizo & sweet potato mix
Reserve the tray[s] for later

Divide the chorizo & sweet potato mix between your tortillas, covering only half
Top evenly with the grated cheese and fold each tortilla over so you're left with 3 half moon-shaped sandwiches per person – these are your chorizo & sweet potato quesadillas

Add the chorizo & sweet potato quesadillas to the reserved tray[s], drizzling each with a little vegetable oil
Place a second baking tray on top of each tortilla baking tray to weigh it down slightly
Put the stacked baking trays in the oven and cook for 10 min, or until the tortillas are slightly browned and the cheese has melted

While the chorizo & sweet potato quesadillas are cooking, chop your tomato[es] finely
Chop your coriander roughly, including the stalks
Add the chopped tomato and chopped coriander to a bowl with the reserved chopped onion, a drizzle of olive oil and a grind of black pepper
Add the juice of your lime[s] and stir it all together – this is your salsa

Once done, allow the chorizo & sweet potato quesadillas to cool slightly, then slice them into triangles
Serve the chorizo & sweet potato quesadilla triangles with the salsa to the side
Enjoy!
