Leftover Roast Chicken and Corn Quesadillas

 

Leftover Roast Chicken and Corn Quesadillas

 

Ingredients

Leftover roast chicken

4 Tortilla Wraps

150g mozzarella & cheddar cheese (grated)

Tomato Relish / Pico De Gallo / Tomato salsa ( ketchup )  / sweet chilli

Spring onions

Small tin sweetcorn drained ( frozen )

Optional : 4 tbsp yogurt dip / cream cheese  / mayonnaise

2 tbsp vegetable oil

 

Method

  1. Shred the roast chicken and roughly chop.
  2. Finely slice the spring onions.
  3. Combine the chopped chicken, cheese, corn and spring onion together in the cream cheese/yogurt dip. Season well.
  4. Spread this mixture on to the tortilla wrap. Spoon over some salsa/relish. Put on the top tortilla wrap and press down well. (in an ideal world, prep these in advance, cover, chill and cook an hour later)
  5. Heat 1 tbsp oil in the pan over a medium heat.
  6. Place the quesadilla in the pan, cook for 1 minute, turn the heat down to a low to medium heat and allow to get a golden brown colour for 2 minutes.
  7. Very carefully flip it over and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  8. Cut into quarters, serve on a board with some Pico de Gallo and chilli yogurt dip.

Pico De Gallo

 

Ingredients

4 beef tomatoes

1/2 onion ( red or white)

1 tbsp olive oil

Juice 1 lime

1 sweet red pepper  / 5 pieces of jalapeño

1 tsp salt

Handful chopped coriander

 

Method

  1. Dice the tomatoes and remove the seeds. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and olive oil. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Finely dice the onion and pepper . Allow the onion, jalapeño, lime and salt to marinate while you chop the tomatoes. This almost pickles them and takes away any harsh, raw flavour.
  3. Combine all ingredients in the bowl; tomato, peppers, onion, lime juice, salt and coriander.
  4. To serve, use a slotted spoon to drain off any excess juice and liquid at the end of the bowl.

 

Yogurt Dip

Ingredients

100mls full fat Greek yogurt

Juice half lime

Chilli ( fresh, squeeze tube, sweet chilli sauce, tabasco, hot sauce)

1 clove garlic grated

Pinch of salt

 

Method

  1. Pour the yogurt into a bowl.
  2. Peel and grate in the garlic.
  3. Squeeze in the lime juice and stir in the chilli.
  4. Sean with a pinch of sea salt.
