Chicken Quesadillas with Sweetcorn Salsa

30 min Serves 4 ~£7.00 (£1.75/serving) Kid-friendly

Ingredients

  • 2 skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 flour tortillas (large)
  • 150 g mild cheddar cheese, grated
  • 200 g tinned sweetcorn, drained
  • 2 tomatoes, finely diced
  • 1 tsp mild smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 100 ml soured cream

Method

  1. 1

    Season the chicken breasts with the smoked paprika and a pinch of salt. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes each side until cooked through. Leave to rest for 5 minutes, then shred with two forks.

  2. 2

    Make the sweetcorn salsa by combining the drained sweetcorn and diced tomatoes in a bowl. Season lightly with salt and set aside.

  3. 3

    Lay a tortilla flat and scatter half the shredded chicken and half the grated cheese over one half of it. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Heat a dry frying pan or griddle over a medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy and the cheese has melted.

  5. 5

    Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with the sweetcorn salsa and soured cream for dipping.
