Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut mild chorizo into thin half-moons. Drain and rinse cannellini beans (see ingredients). • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chorizo until golden, 3-4 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 flour tortillas 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.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop cucumber and coriander. • In a small bowl, combine cucumber, coriander and a drizzle of the white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
• Divide chorizo and bean quesadillas between plates. • Top with cucumber-coriander salsa to serve. Enjoy!
