Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

Pick and finely chop the parsley leaves. Slice the lemon into wedges. Finely slice the brown onion. Drain and rinse the red kidney beans. Grate the Cheddar cheese. Finely dice the cucumber. Deseed and finely slice the long red chilli (if using). TIP: Make sure you remove the seeds and white pith when deseeding the chilli. The pith is actually the hottest part! If you like heat, leave it in for an extra kick.

Make the parsley-lemon yoghurt
2

In a small bowl, combine the parsley and the Greek yoghurt and squeeze over the juice of a lemon wedge (add as much or as little lemon juice as you like depending on your taste preference). Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.

Cook the veggies
3

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the brown onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until softened. Add the mild Mexican spice blend, the **salt (use the suggested amount) and the red kidney beans and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir through 1/2 of the baby spinach leaves until wilted. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and roughly mash the beans with a fork. Season to taste with a pinch of salt** and pepper.

Make the quesadilla
4

Wipe out the pan with paper towel and heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Place 1 mini flour tortilla in the pan and top with 3 tbs of the bean mixture. Spread evenly to the edges of the tortilla and top with a 1/4 of the Cheddar cheese and another tortilla. Press down using a spatula and cook until nicely golden. Carefully flip and cook for a further 2 minutes, or until the tortilla is toasted and the cheese has melted. Set aside and repeat with the remaining tortillas and bean mixture.

Make the salad
5

In a medium bowl, add the cucumber and the remaining baby spinach leaves. Pour over the balsamic vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper and toss to combine. TIP: Dress the salad just before serving to avoid soggy leaves.

Serve up
6

Slice the cheesy bean quesadillas into wedges and divide between plates. Serve with the parsley-lemon yoghurt and the cucumber salad on the side. Sprinkle over the long red chilli (if using).
