Instructions

Char the Veg
1

a) Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
b) Drain the sweetcorn in a sieve. Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips, then chop into roughly 1cm pieces.
c) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Once hot, add the pepper and corn.
d) Once hot, add the pepper and corn. Fry until softened and starting to char, 5-6 mins. Stir only twice during this time.

Mix the Filling
2

a) Meanwhile, grate the Cheddar cheese. Crumble the Greek style salad cheese. Zest and halve the lime.
b) Once the veg is cooked, remove from the heat and stir through the Central American style spice mix.
c) Add the spiced veg, both cheeses and half the lime zest to a medium bowl. Mix together well.
d) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Make your Quesadillas
3

a) Lay the tortillas (2 per person) onto a baking tray and spoon the cheesy veg filling onto one half of each one.
b) Fold the other side over to make a semi-circle. Press down to keep together.
c) Rub a little oil over the top of each one, then bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 5-7 mins.

Radish Salad Time
4

a) While the quesadillas bake, trim and quarter the radishes.
b) In another medium bowl, mix together the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see ingredients for both amounts) with a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
c) Add the radishes to the dressing and set aside until serving.

Zest It Up
5

a) In a small bowl, mix together the soured cream and remaining lime zest.
b) Taste and season if needed.

Finish and Serve
6

a) When the quesadillas are ready, add the rocket to the radish bowl and toss to coat in the dressing.
b) Plate up your quesadillas with the radish salad alongside.
c) Dollop on the zesty soured cream to finish. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the tasty, spicy quesadillas, though some found them a bit bland and suggested adding more seasoning or cheese.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, perfect for a midweek meal or when short on time.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding beans, chicken, or other protein to make the meal more filling and substantial.
  • Portions: Some found the portion size small for a main meal; adding extra vegetables or a side dish could help.
  • Texture: For crispier quesadillas, try frying them instead of baking, or brush with oil before putting in the oven.
