Instructions
Instruction
Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion into half moons. Remove the ends from the courgette, halve lengthways, then slice into 1cm wide half moons. Drain and rinse the black beans in a sieve. Halve and deseed the green chilli, then finely chop. Zest the lime and keep to one side.
Instruction
Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, 5 mins. Add the courgette along with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 3 mins. Stir in the chilli and cook for a further minute. TIP: Add as much or as little chilli as you like!
Instruction
Stir the ground cumin into your veggies, then add the black beans, tomato passata and a squeeze of lime juice (don't use it all yet!). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, bring to a simmer and allow to bubble away until slightly thickened, about 4-5 mins.
Instruction
While your filling cooks, add a pinch of lime zest to the sour cream and mix with a pinch of salt. Cut the baby gem lettuce in half lengthways and then finely slice it widthways. Pop the lettuce in a bowl (we'll dress it later). Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper.
Instruction
Pile some of the courgette mixture onto one half of each tortilla. Grate over some of the cheddar cheese. Fold over the other side of the tortilla to make half moon shaped quesadillas . Repeat until you have used up all your mixture - you should make at least two quesadillas per person, but it will depend on how generously you fill them!
Instruction
Put another frying pan on medium heat (no oil). When hot, fry each quesadilla until golden brown, about 2 mins each side, careful when you turn them over! Remove to a plate and keep warm under some foil and repeat until you have cooked all your quesadillas. Drizzle over some olive oil and squeeze some of the remaining lime juice over the lettuce. Serve the quesadillas with the zesty sour cream and some baby gem. Enjoy
