Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 flour tortillas, large
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat.
  • Add one tortilla and sprinkle it with half the cheese, half the tomatoes and half the chilies. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place another tortilla on top and press it down gently to seal the tortillas together. Cook the tortilla sandwich for about five minutes, turning once half way through the cooking time.
  • Check that the cheese has melted and transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board.
  • Repeat the process with the next tortilla.
  • Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve immediately with chunky salsa, sour cream and guacamole.
  • Serves 4 as a main course or 8 to 10 as an appetizer.
