Introduction
Little cheesy thing. Three words which, when muttered from a girl’s mouth, will crush any guy’s ego. However, it is also the literal Spanish translation for a quesadilla (pronounced kay-sar-dee-ah) – a panini-style Tex-Mex dish. Makes great party finger food, hot or cold. Just don’t let it slip that the dish’s name really means ‘shrivelled Wotsit’ in Spanish. This recipe has become a SORTED staple. It makes regular appearances during our live food demonstrations, and every time we share the recipe people are stunned at how quick, simple, versatile and tasty they are. They usually contain a mixture of chicken, cheese and chilli, but we think that anything that works on a pizza will be great in a quesadilla. Just pick your ideal pizza topping from the takeaway menu and rustle up your own version for a fraction of the price. Don’t get left behind …try one yourself!
