Chicken Foldover Quesadillas

INGREDIENTS

• 4 soft tortilla wraps
• 1.5 cups grated mozzarella cheese note 1
• 1 cup pulled chicken note 2
• ½ cup kidney beans drained
• ½ cup corn drained
• 1 avocado sliced
• 4-8 lettuce leaves

FOR THE SAUCE

• ½ cup tomato puree
• 1 teaspoon paprika powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoons dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ¼ teaspoon ground coriander

INSTRUCTIONS

• Mix the spices for the sauce with the tomato puree and add salt to taste.
• Place one tortilla on a board and cut it to the middle (note 3).
• Place the filling for the wrap in each quarter: lettuce and avocado on one, chicken on the next, beans and corn on the third and sauce and cheese on the last. I like to sprinkle some cheese also on the chicken and the beans (note 4).
• Fold the piece left from the cut over, then to the right and then downwards
• Heat up a pan over medium heat – no oil – and cook the wrap 2-3 minutes per side. Turning them over the open side to the top. Press down with a lid for a more even browning (note 5).
• Serve hot with sour cream, salsa or guacamole.

NOTES

• Feel free to use store bought salsa in place of the homemade sauce if you’re short on time.
• Note 1: use whatever cheese you like best and melts well. You can also mix different cheeses. Use more if you like – everything is better with cheese
• Note 2: If your chicken is not seasoned much, feel free to make either more of the spice mix or use taco seasoning to season the chicken a bit. You could also double the amount of sauce and put some extra.
• Note 3: Fold the wrap in half and in half again, open and you will see little marks that you can use for help to know where to put the ingredients
• Note 4: Place the salad left of the cut, so it will be in the middle later and doesn’t get too warm/mushy. Cheese right from the cut so it will be on the outside later and melt perfectly.
• Note 5: if you used oil it would be harder to handle the tortilla and it might brown to fast on the outside before the cheese had a chance to melt.
