  • 50g smoked chicken, shredded
  • 30g fresh mango, chopped

Method

  1. In a bowl mix together the grated cheese, soft cheese, spring onions and jalapeños. Lay the tortillas out on a surface then spread them with the mixture. Top one with the chicken and mango, then sandwich together.
  2. To make the guacamole: place the flesh of the avocado into a mortar or a small bowl and with the pestle or the back of a fork mash the avocado until its smooth with a few chunks. Pour over the lime and salt and mix together, then add the rest of the ingredients and stir.
  3. For the salsa: simply mix all the ingredients together and leave for 20 minutes, for the flavours to blend.
  4. Heat a frying pan until it’s hot, and then lay the quesadilla on top. Gently toast for 2 mins on each side or until golden and the cheese is beginning to ooze. Transfer onto a chopping board then cut the quesadilla into 4-6 wedges and serve piping hot with guacamole and salsa.
