2014 Cooking Club Week 20:Chorizo and potato Quesadillas

Chorizo and potato Quesadillas

This is a great go to dish in my house, either as a snack or as dinner. They are taste and really family friendly (my 2 year old loves them!). They are super quick dinner especially if you have some left over potatoes and chorizo in the fridge.

What you need (for 2 nicely full Quesadillas):

150g boiled potatoes
100g Chorizo
200g grated cheese
half an onion diced
1 clove of garlic
Some fresh thyme (optional)
2 large Tortillas
a little bit of olive oil



So Add a little Olive oil to the pan and fry the onion for a couple of minute until they are soft. Add in the garlic and fry for a further 3 minutes or so.



Turn up the heat and add the potatoes and Chorizo and cook or about 5 more minutes until the oil from the Chorizo has coloured the potatoes.Mix in the thyme and a little bit of salt and pepper. Take this mix off the heat and leave to one side.



Now get your tortilla and brush with a little bit of oil on the side that will be the outside. Put the Tortilla oil side down on a pan, on one half of the tortilla add some cheese and then the potato mix then more cheese an fold over the tortilla so you now have a half moon filled tortilla in the pan.



Cook on both side for a couple of minutes, take off the pan and cut in quarters and enjoy.....



These can be addapted in a couple of way:
1. Add Chicken
2. A Veggie version adding pepper and paparika instead of the Chorizo
