Hola ! Amigos and amigas! Buenas Dias! Today I have decided to make quesadilla for dinner. It is very easy to make, yet bursting with flavours from the different spices used. As you can see from the photo above, I am using a lot of Mc Cormick’s spices. They have great quality herbs and spices that would surely give that ‘oomph’ to your dishes. This recipe yields 2 round quesadillas, perfect for a family of 4.

Ingredients

• 1 tbs oil + 2 tbs of oil
• 4 pcs of tortilla wrap
• 300g chicken breast (cut into cubes)
• 1/4 pc chopped yellow bell pepper
• 1/4 pc chopped red bell pepper
• 1/4 pc yellow onion (medium size)
• 125g grated cheddar
• 125g Monterey Jack cheese

Spices

• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp cayenne
• 1/4 tsp oregano

Mango Salsa

• 1 ripe yellow mango ( cut into small cubes)
• 2g chopped coriander
• 20g red bell pepper
• 20g yellow bell pepper
• 10g minced red onion
• 1 big lime (7g juice)

Method

• Gently whisk all of your spices, add in your cubes of chicken, season it well until all the pieces of chicken are coated with spices. Set aside.
• In a medium high heat fire, drizzle 1 tablespoons of oil onto your pan , sauté the yellow onion and bell peppers until tender. Transfer to a plate.
• Using the same pan, add two tablespoons of oil , sauté the seasoned chicken until all the pieces are cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
• Using a clean pan heated under a medium low fire, lay one piece of tortilla, sprinkle half of the grated cheddar cheese, then followed by half of the cooked chicken, half of the cooked onion and bell peppers, then half of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Lastly top it with another piece of tortilla wrap. Flip and cook for both sides., about 3 minutes each side.
