Nigella’s quesadillas

 

After my traumas over the weekend, it was relaxing, just to sit and chill and watch Nigella cook. 

Lat night episode of Nigella’s Express, was all things Mexican, which I adore.

 She made these quesadillas and they look moresish. I am a big fan of quesdadillas, since hubby took me to London for the weekend, for my 40th birthday,  we ate the most amazing duck quesadillas in a fab bristo, just near Convent Garden!!

 I am going to have a bash at making these: 

Ingredients
For each quesadilla
1 soft flour tortilla
30g/1oz thinly sliced cured ham
3 thick slices pickled green jalapeño peppers, from a jar
50g/2oz grated cheese
1 spring onion, finely sliced
few leaves fresh coriander
1 tsp olive oil (not extra virgin)
ready-made salsa, to serve
Method
1. Heat a ridged griddle pan.
2. Place the tortilla onto a work surface and cover with the ham.
3. Over one half of the tortilla only, sprinkle the jalapeño slices, grated cheese and chopped spring onion. Scatter over the coriander leaves.
4. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling in a half moon shape.
5. Carefully lift the tortilla up and brush each side with oil before placing it onto the hot griddle. Griddle for a minute on each side, or until lightly charred and the cheese has melted.
6. Using a fish slice, transfer the tortilla to a board or plate and cut into three triangles. Serve with a spoonful of salsa.
