Recipes : Chicken Quesadilla with Spicy Mexican Salsa

Let's enjoy cooking !!


Whenever we are craving to eat something spicy the first things that comes to our mind is Mexican food. 
Loaded with lots of fiery flavours Mexican food is just great. But it is not only just about being spicy, you will be excited to hear that it's also about health too.
It's full of protein, fibres and healthy carbohydrates. So that means that you can enjoy Mexican cuisine as often as you want without feeling guilty. So now if you are bored of eating regular boring food and want to spice it up a little bit and if you have a pan, then we have a plan for you.

Ingredients:
(Makes 1 Quesadilla)
Tortilla: 2
Red onion: 2
Garlic cloves: 2
Red chili flakes: 2 tsp.
Chipotle chili or dried red chilli: 1
Dried oregano: 2tsp
Chicken mince: 250g
Mozzarella cheese:  4tbsp
Cheddar cheese:  4tbsp
Salt and pepper
Lime juice (optional): 1tsp
Oil: 1tbsp

For Salsa
Chipotle chilli or dried red chilli: 2
Tomatoes: 2
Garlic cloves:  4
Coriander bunch: 1
Lime juice of 1/2 lime
Salt and pepper
Oil: 1tbsp

Preparation
1.    First let's prepare the stuffing: Chop the onion, Heat oil in a pan and sauté onion till pink.

2.    Finely chop cloves of garlic and add to the pan. Sauté for two minutes.

3.    Now add red chili flakes, chipotle chili or dried red chili, and dried oregano.

4.    Now in a bowl, season the chicken mince with salt, pepper and paprika and add to the pan. Sauté till cooked completely.

5.    Now let's prepare the spicy Mexican Salsa: Chop the garlic, not fine but little big pieces. Also, chop the tomatoes and chipotle chili.

6.    In a pan, heat oil, add garlic, season it little bit, sauté till golden, add chipotle chili or dried red chili and tomatoes. Season it a little bit and sauté till tomatoes are slightly soft.

7.    Now In a blender add the bunch of coriander and the tomato mixture.

8.    Squeeze the lime juice, adjust the seasoning and give it a good blend.

9.    Now let's assemble our Quesadilla. Heat up a pan, preferably griddle pan, drizzle over little bit of oil, place the tortilla. Spread the cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese properly on it.

10.    On top of cheese, spread the chicken mixture and then again on top of chicken mixture spread the cheese, and now top it with another tortilla.

11.    Now for the little difficult part, flip your quesadilla and let the other side get sautéed for just one or one and half minute.

12.    Now take it out on a chopping board and cut it in four quadrants. Serve hot with spicy salsa.
