Ingredients

4 Hellers Spicy Chorizo, Finely Sliced

2 Cloves Garlic

1 tsp Cumin

1 tsp Paprika

½ tsp Chilli Flakes

1 Tin Black Beans

2 Spring Onions

100g Meadow Fresh Mozzarella Cheese

1 Large Handful Chopped Coriander

4 Traditional Tortillas

2 Cups Fresh Coriander

½ Cup Fresh Oregano

2 Garlic Cloves

½ tsp Paprika

1 tsp Cumin

½ tsp Ground Coriander

¼ Cup Lime Juice

½ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 Fresh Chillies

4 tbsp Meadow Fresh Sour Cream

Method

1. Heat a splash of oil in pan over medium/high heat, add chorizo and fry until crisp.

2. Turn down the heat, add garlic and continue to cook for a couple of minutes.

3. Add cumin, paprika and chilli flakes, stirring frequently, for an additional 2 minutes.

4. Drain and rinse black beans and add to the pan. Gently mash some of the black beans with the back of a wooden spoon and let cook until heated through – about 5 minutes. Season well with salt & pepper. Remove from heat and leave to cool.

5. In a large mixing bowl add spring onions, cheese, coriander, and cooled chorizo & black bean mix.

6. Spread half the mixture onto one tortilla and top with another. Repeat with the other two tortillas.

7. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and pan-fry each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side.

8. Meanwhile, for the green herb salsa, combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until combined. Season with salt.

9. To serve, cut your quesadillas into 6 even triangles, stack on a plate and top with green herb salsa and sour cream.
