Instructions
1
- Drain and rinse the kidney beans.
- Pop into a medium bowl and roughly mash with the back of a fork (or a potato masher).
- Trim the scallions then slice thinly.
- Add the scallion, grated cheese, chipotle paste and tomato paste to the beans.
- Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Mix well.
2
- Lay half the tortillas (double for 4p) out on a board.
- Spread a little of the bean mix over half of each, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Fold the tortillas in half to make half-moon shapes.
3
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan on medium-high heat.
- When hot, carefully lay the quesadillas in the pan. Fry until golden, 2 mins each side.
- Turn carefully. Lightly press down on them with a spatula to ensure they stick together and brown nicely.
TIP: You might have to do this in batches. Add more oil to the pan as needed and cover cooked quesadillas with foil to keep warm.
4
- While the quesadillas are frying, trim half the cucumber (double for 4p) then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into small pieces. Halve the tomatoes.
- In a large bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar with 1 tbsp oil (double for 4p). Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the salad leaves, tomatoes and cucumber and toss gently.
- Serve the quesadillas alongside plenty of salad.
