Easy Stuff: Quesadilla con Pollo

Quesadillas have always been a favourite of mine. It wasn’t until my Latino friend told me how easy they were that I started making them at home. The secret is…


… to toast the tortilla on both sides in a frying pan before adding the cheese. Once the tortilla starts to bubble you can flip it. It should look like this:





Then you add the cheese all over and the other ingredients only on one side. I used the leftover chicken from my Carbonara recipe.



Make sure you have the heat very low or else this will happen:



This is where the whole patience thing evades me. Through the magic of the internet we will fast-forward to attempt number 2!



I topped it with the leftover Carbonara sauce. Very yummy - although adding that much fat to anything will make it good!
