Ingredients · per serving
- 1 large Flour tortilla
- 2 tbsp Salsa
- 2 tbsp Black beans
- 1 tbsp Soured cream
- 1 stalk Spring onion
- 60 g Cheddar cheese
- 50 g Cooked chicken
Instructions
- Heat a large dry frying pan (non-stick or cast iron) over medium heat. No oil needed.
- Lay one tortilla flat in the pan. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over one half of it, leaving a 1cm gap at the edge.
- If using fillings (chicken, beans, peppers), scatter on top of the cheese.
- Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the cheese. Press gently with a spatula.
- Cook 2-3 min until the bottom is golden and the cheese starts to melt at the edges.
- Flip carefully with a spatula. Cook another 2-3 min until the second side is golden and the cheese is fully melted (peek at an edge to check).
- Slide onto a board. Rest 1 min — the cheese sets slightly, easier to cut.
- Slice into 3 triangles using a sharp knife or pizza wheel. Serve with salsa and soured cream for dipping.
