The Quesadilla Hack
Lily Ramirez-Foran from Hola Picado Restaurant shows us Tik Tok Mexican cooking trend that's been sweeping the world
Ingredients
For the Savoury Quesadilla:
1 Burrito Wraps, 28 cms in diameter
2 tablespoons Refried Beans
4 thin slices of chorizo
1 teaspoon of Sweet crushed Chipotles in Adobo Sauce
30 grams Good Quality Cheddar Cheese
For the Sweet Quesadilla:
1 Burrito Wrap, 28 cms in diameter
2 tablespoons of Peanut butter
4 strawberries, washed, culled and sliced
1 tablespoon Raspberry Jelly
1 tablespoon Chocolate chips
Method:
Savoury:
1. Lay the burrito wrap on a chopping board and with a sharp knife of a pizza cutter, make a vertical cut half the length of the wrap from the bottom towards the centre. This creates a way to fold the wrap into itself in 4 ways rather than the traditional two.
2. Once you have the cut made, mentally divide the wrap into quarter zones. Take the refried beans and spread then with a spoon into the left hand side bottom quarter (ie to the left of the cut.
3. Spread the chorizo in the quarter above, followed by the sweet, crushed chipotles in adobo sauce in the quarter next to it.
4. Finally add the cheese to the bottom right side of the wrap (the one to the right of the cut.
5. Fold the quarters into each other following the same order, so beans into chorizo, then that into chipotles and then into cheese and pan fry it for 2 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden brown. You can add a little bit of butter to the pan or do it dry, either way, it will taste Delicious.
For the Sweet version, follow the same steps, but the sequence of the ingredients should be: peanut butter, strawberries, jelly, chocolate chips.
