Steps

  • Place four tortillas on a board and cover each with grated cheese.
  • Distribute the chicken, red onion, jalapeños, and coriander over the cheese.
  • Spread sour cream on one side of the remaining tortillas and place them cream-side down onto the fillings.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan over a medium heat.
  • Cook each quesadilla for 3-4 minutes per side until the filling melts and the tortilla is golden.
  • Pulse all salsa ingredients in a food processor and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the warm quesadillas into quarters and serve with the sweetcorn salsa.
