Cooking Steps
- Drain and rinse the kidney beans in a sieve.
- Pop the beans into a medium bowl and roughly mash with the back of a fork (or a potato masher).
- Halve, peel and finely dice the onion.
- Trim and grate the carrot (no need to peel).
- Cut the tomatoes into 2cm dice.
- Add the carrot, chipotle paste, Mexican spice mix, tomato paste and half the onion to the beans. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Mix well.
- Lay the tortillas out on a board.
- Spread a little of the bean mixture over one-half of each, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Top each with a sprinkling of the cheese.
- Fold the tortillas in half to make semicircles.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, carefully place the folded quesadillas into the pan.
- Fry until golden, 1-2 mins each side. Turn carefully.
- Lightly press down on each one 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.
- Meanwhile, mix the diced tomatoes with the remaining onion, balsamic glaze and 1 tbsp oil (double for 4p) in a large bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Dish up the quesadillas with the tomato salsa and creme fraiche alongside.
