Method

In a bowl, mix the beans with the red chilli, pepper, coriander leaves and spring onions. Season and spread evenly over 2 soft flour tortillas. Top each with a handful of grated Cheddar and sandwich a second tortilla on top.
Heat a large non-stick pan, lightly greased with olive oil, over a medium-high heat. Carefully fry each quesadilla, 1 at a time, for about 1½ minutes each side, until they are golden and the filling is hot (invert onto a plate to turn them over).
Cut into wedges and serve with fresh guacamole, for dipping.
