Instructions
a) Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.

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.

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.
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.
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.
a) In a small bowl, mix together the soured cream and remaining lime zest.
