Avo Quesadillas
Red Leicester Cheese, Sweet Peppers & Avo Salsa
Ingredients
- 2 mixed-colour peppers
- ½ a bunch of mint 15g
- 50 g red Leicester cheese
- 2 large seeded wholemeal tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 limes
- 4 tablespoons natural yoghurt
- 2 teaspoons smoked chipotle Tabasco
Instructions
- Blacken the whole peppers over a direct flame on the hob, or in a griddle pan on a high heat, until charred all over, while you pick the mint leaves and finely chop half of them.
- Pop the peppers into a bowl, cover and leave for 10 minutes, then scrape off most of the skin, deseed and chop into 1cm dice.
- Mix with 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar and the chopped mint, then season to perfection.
- Coarsely grate half the cheese over one tortilla, scatter over the peppers, grate over the rest of the cheese, then put the other tortilla on top and press down.
- Put a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat, carefully lift in the tortillas, and toast for 4 minutes on each side, or until golden and the cheese has melted.
- Meanwhile, halve and destone the avocado, and scoop one avocado half into a blender with the remaining mint leaves, the juice of 1 lime, 3 tablespoons of yoghurt and 2 tablespoons of water.
- Blitz until smooth, then season to perfection.
- Divide between your plates, ripple through the remaining yoghurt and the Tabasco, then slice and divide up the remaining avo.
- Serve with wedges of quesadilla, for dunking, and lime wedges, for squeezing over.
