Ingredients
For the salsa.
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 1 Lebanese cucumber or half a continental cucumber
- ½ red onion
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 small green chilli - optional
For the Quesadillas
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- salt and pepper - be generous with these
- 4 flour tortillas
- 2 cups grated cheese (I use a mixture of strong cheddar and mozzarella)
Instructions
For the salsa.
- Finely chop the red onion and place in a small bowl with the juice of 1 lime. Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes.
- Cut the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds. Cut the flesh into small dice and place in another bowl.
- Cut the cucumber in half lengthways, removed the seeds, cut into small dice and add to the tomato.
- Stir through the chilli if using.
- Add the onion and lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
For the Quesadillas
- Cut the potatoes into small dice and boil for 10 minutes until just tender (the timing will depend on your size).
- Slice your onion in half and then cut into thin half moons. Gently heat the olive oil and fry the onion on a low heat until tender and starting to colour.
- Crush/grate the garlic and add to the onions along with the cumin and cook for a 2 extra minutes.
- Add the potato and carefully turn and stir to allow everything to mingle together. Don't worry if some of the potato gets a bit mushed up, but aim for some chunks to remain in the mixture.
- Spread a quarter of the potato mixture over one half of the tortilla and sprinkle over a quarter of the cheese.
- Fold the tortilla in half and place in a dry frying pan and cook until the tortilla is golden on one side. Gently flip the quesadilla and cook on the other side until golden and the cheese is melted.
- Place the quesadilla in a low oven to keep warm whilst you cook the remaining quesadillas.
- Cut each quesadilla into three wedges and serve with the tomato salsa.
