Ingredients
  

For the Quesadillas:
  • 4 large flour tortilla wraps
  • 1 cup grated cheese mix of cheddar and mozzarella
  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded or diced
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1 small red onion sliced thinly
  • 1 small chilli red or green, sliced
  • 1 handful fresh spinach

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Spatula
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Bowl

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, grated cheese, diced tomato, sliced red onion, chopped chilli, and fresh spinach. Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning and mix until everything is well coated.
  2. Lay one flour tortilla flat on your work surface. Spoon a generous amount of the filling onto one half of the tortilla, leaving some space at the edges. Fold the other half over the filling to create a semicircle. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place one quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden and crispy. Use your spatula to flip it carefully, cooking for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. Remove and keep warm while you cook the remaining quesadillas.
  4. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve them warm with lime wedges on the side. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for an extra zing!
