Chorizo, Potato and Thyme Quesadillas

NewImage

We love these delicious quesadillas from Mexican food expert Thomasina Miers. They're filled with an irresistible combination of chorizo, potatoes and cheese and take just 15 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients:

  • 350 grams potatoes
  • 0.5 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 200 grams chorizo cooking sausage, chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh thyme, chopped
  • Sea salt and black pepper
  • 4 large tortillas
  • 400 grams cheese, grated
  • Olive oil
  • 1 jar salsa

Directions:

Cut the potatoes in equal-size chunks and cook until tender. Leave them to cool a little and then cut them into 1cm dice. Cook the onion until soft, add the garlic and cook for a further 3 minutes. Mix in the chorizo and potato, turn up the heat and fry for another 5 minutes. Mix in the thyme and season. Spread a quarter of the chorizo mixture on one half of a tortilla and sprinkle with a fistful of cheese. Fold the tortilla over so that you have a half moon. Brush it with a little olive oil (so the tortilla doesn’t stick to the pan) and place in a hot, dry frying pan or griddle and cook until golden and crisp. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Cut into wedges and serve with your favourite table salsa.

(Serves 4)
