Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Peel and finely dice your red onion[s]

Grate your cheddar cheese

Crumble your feta into small pieces

Drain your sweetcorn

Step 1
2.

Add the diced onion and grated cheddar to a large bowl with the crumbled feta, drained sweetcorn, vegetable stock mix, chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), most of your ground smoked paprika and your soft cheese

Give everything a good mix up – this is your three-cheese filling

Combine the remaining ground smoked paprika with a small drizzle of olive oil in a small bowl and mix it all together – this is your smoky oil

Step 2
3.

Divide the three-cheese filling between your tortillas (make sure to only cover one half of the tortilla with the filling!)

Fold each tortilla over so you're left with 3 half moon-shaped sandwiches per person– these are your loaded quesadillas

Step 3
4.

Add the loaded quesadillas to a baking tray (or two!)

Brush each loaded quesadilla with the smoky oil

Step 4
5.

Cut a piece[s] of baking paper approx. the size of the baking tray[s]

Place a baking paper piece on top of the loaded quesadillas, then add a second baking tray on top to weigh them down slightly

Put the stacked baking tray[s] in the oven and cook for 12-15 min, or until the quesadillas are slightly browned and the cheese has melted – these are your three-cheese corn quesadillas

Step 5
6.

Meanwhile, heat a small dry pan over a medium heat

Once hot, add your pine nut & seed mix and cook for 2-3 min or until toasted and lightly golden

Tip: Watch them like a hawk to make sure they don't burn!

Step 6
7.

Wash your lettuce, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and roughly shred

Chop your chives finely and add them to a small bowl with 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil, your red wine vinegar, 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar and a pinch of salt and mix it all together – this is your chive dressing

Step 7
8.

Toss the shredded lettuce and chive dressing together – this is your tangy chive salad

Serve the three-cheese corn quesadillas with the tangy chive salad to the side

Sprinkle the toasted pine nut & seed mix over the salad

Enjoy!
