I LOVE Mexican with quesadillas being one of my favourite dishes. So easy to make, a great weeknight family meal. Lay a tortilla on a sandwich press, add filling plus cheese, top with another tortilla. Cook until cheese has melted and tortillas browned. If you don’t have a sandwich press you could use a frypan, however it can be a little tricky to flip.
You could use a BBQ chook or be frugal and poach and shred your own, see details here.
