Pan-fried cheese quesadilla

12 min · serves 2

The fastest thing here. Oaxaca cheese is hard to find in Vietnam, so mozzarella cut with cheddar gets close on both stretch and salt.

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Flour tortillas, 20 cm
  • 200 g Grated mozzarella
  • 50 g Grated cheddar
  • 20 g Unsalted butter
  • 2 stalks Spring onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Pickled chillies, sliced
  • 10 g Coriander, chopped

Method

  1. Toss both cheeses with the spring onion and pickled chillies in a bowl.
  2. Set a non-stick pan over medium heat and melt half the butter.
  3. Lay in one tortilla, spread cheese over half of it, and fold it closed.
  4. Press and cook 2 minutes a side until the shell is freckled and the cheese has fully melted.
  5. Move to a board, rest 1 minute, then cut into three wedges.
  6. Repeat with the remaining butter and tortillas, and scatter coriander before serving.
