Yield: Serves 4
Cuisine: Mexican recipes

This bright and flavoursome chicken recipe will bring a little taste of Mexico to your plate.

Ingredients

Put the chicken, pepper, spring onions, mozzarella and sage into a bowl. Season and mix together.
Lay a tortilla flat. Scatter a quarter of the chicken mixture over it, top with another tortilla and press together. Make 3 more quesadillas in the same way.
Grease 2 large frying pans with a little olive oil and put over a medium heat. Put 1 quesadilla into each pan and cook for 2 minutes, until golden. Invert on to a plate, then slide back into the pan and cook for 2 minutes, until the filling is hot and the cheese just melting. Set aside while you cook the other 2. Cut each quesadilla into 4 and serve with watercress and cherry tomatoes.

Smoked mozzarella has a smoky, almost nutty flavour. If you can’t find it in Italian delis, use regular mozzarella.
