Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut mild chorizo into thin half-moons. Roughly chop capsicum. Drain and rinse cannellini beans (see ingredients). • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook capsicum and chorizo until golden, 4-5 minutes. • Add Tex-Mex spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add beans, mild chipotle sauce, soffritto mix and the water and cook until softened and starting to break down, 3-4 minutes. Season to taste.

• Arrange mini flourtortillas over a lined oven tray (if your tray is getting crowded, spread across two trays). • Spoon chorizo filling onto one half of each tortilla, then top with shredded Cheddar cheese. • Fold the empty half of each tortilla over to enclose the filling and press down gently with a spatula. Brush (or spray) with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. • Bake quesadillas until cheese is melted and tortillas are golden, 8-12 minutes. Spoon any overflowing filling and cheese back into the quesadillas.
