Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced.
• Grate carrot. Finely chop celery and garlic.
• Slice chicken breast into thin strips.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat.
• Cook chicken strips, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes.

Make the filling
2

• Add celery and carrot and cook, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes.
• Add garlic, Tex-Mex spice blend and tomato paste to the pan and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add the brown sugar and water and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.

Bake the quesedillas
3

• Arrange mini flour tortillas on a lined oven tray. Divide the chicken filling between tortillas, spooning it 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) the tortillas with a drizzle of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
• Bake quesadillas until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden, 10-12 minutes. Spoon any overflowing filling back into the quesadillas.

TIP: You can place a sheet of baking paper and a second oven tray on top of the quesadillas if they unfold during cooking.

Finish & serve

• Meanwhile, combine shredded cabbage mix and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil in a medium bowl. Season to taste.

• Serve with slaw and sour cream. Enjoy!
