Mushroom and Chicken Quesadilla
Makes 1
Ingredients
10ml oil
1 chicken breast fillet, sliced
200g button mushrooms, thickly sliced
3ml paprika
1x410g can red kidney beans, drained
5ml ground cumin or taco spice
2 large flat wraps
100g guacamole
100g Cheddar cheese, grated
fresh salsa made from finely diced red onion, tomatoes, fresh coriander and sliced fresh green chilli, if desired
Method
1 Heat the oil in a pan and fry the chicken until cooked. Transfer to a plate and return the pan to the stove. Fry the mushrooms for 2-3 minutes. Add the reserved chicken and the paprika. Cook for 1 minute and set aside.
2 Place the beans and cumin into a mixing bowl and roughly mash with a fork. Lay a wrap on a flat surface and spread the bean mixture on top. Top with the mushroom and chicken mixture, guacamole, Cheddar cheese and fresh salsa. Lay the second wrap on top of the filling.
3 Heat a large, non-stick pan on the stove and slide the quesadilla into the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, turn (using a plate to assist) and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes. Alternatively, place the quesadilla under a hot grill for 1-2 minutes per side. Slices into wedges and serve.
