The perfect alternative to a toasted sandwich, is my new favourite, Grilled Cheese, Corn and Sweet Pepper Quesadilla. It is absolutely scrumptious and makes a great snack or lunch.
Ingredients
  • ½ cup / 90g frozen or canned sweetcorn
  • ½ medium sized sweet red bell diced
  • 1 clove garlic chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or chilli powder adjust to taste NOTE 1
  • ¼ teaspoon dried chilli flakes optional
  • 2 Tablespoons hummus
  • 2 flour tortillas
  • ¼ cup / 25g grated or sliced cheese
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon oil
Instructions
  • Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. Add the garlic, chopped peppers, sweetcorn chilli powder, and chilli flakes, if using and cook for about 8 minutes until the pepper is softened.
  • Spread the hummus onto one side of a tortilla and top with the cooked sweetcorn and pepper mixture.
  • Grate the cheese over the corn and pepper mixture and add mixed dried herbs, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover with the other tortilla and divide into 4 equal portions before grilling on a hot pan. You could grill it first before cutting, I just find it easier to handle in a smaller portion.
  • Grill for ½ minute on each side, until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is crispy.
  • Serve hot.
Recipe Notes
Chilli powder or flakes is an optional ingredient and can be left out or the amount adjusted to taste
