Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Roughly chop tomato, cucumber and baby spinach leaves. • Thinly slice brown onion (see ingredients). • Thinly slice spring onion. • Drain sweetcorn. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken, corn kernels and onion, until browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add Tex-Mex spice blend and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in the water and the butter and cook, until combined, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
TIP: Add a splash more water if the filling looks dry!
• Arrange tortillas over lined oven tray. Divide chicken mixture among tortillas, spooning it onto one half of each tortilla, then top with Cheddar cheese. • Fold empty half of each tortilla over to enclose filling and press down with spatula. • Brush or spray tortillas with a drizzle of olive oil and season.
• Bake quesadillas until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden, 10-12 minutes. • Spoon any overflowing filling and cheese back into quesadillas.
TIP: Place a sheet of baking paper and a second oven tray on top of the quesadillas if they unfold during cooking.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine spinach, spring onion, tomato, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. • Season to taste.
• Divide cheesy Tex-Mex chicken and corn quesadillas between plates. • Top with tomato salsa and light sour cream to serve. Enjoy!
