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.
Ingredients
Method
- Steam or poach chicken breast, then allow to cool
- Shred chicken breast and place in large bowl
- Add oil to frying pan, when heated add onion and cumin, cooking for 3 minutes or until browned
- Add corn, capsicum, coriander, cheese and onion to chicken, mix to combine
- Heat sandwich press (if you don't have sandwich press use a lightly greased frying pan)
- Add approximately 3/4-1 cup of chicken mixture on top of 1 tortilla (sprinkle with extra cheese and sour cream if desired)
- Add tortilla on top of chicken mixture
- Place on sandwich press and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes or until browned. Repeat with remaining mixture and tortillas.
- Cut each tortilla into 6 slices.

Hi Katrina,
you need to recheck the recipe – the cumin isn’t mentioned in the method and the onion isn’t listed in the ingredients. Oops!
My bad, the onion is mentioned, although I think you need to move ‘chopped into wedges’ up next to it instead of the grated cheese.
Your a star Saam thank you for picking that up, all fixed 🙂
