These cheesey sweetcorn quesadillas make a delicious lunch or light dinner! Get the recipe below.

Fridge to table in 15 minutes

If you're hungry and need a light meal fast then quesadillas are the answer. They've become my go to lunch on days when work is crazy but I want something hot and tasty! Within 15 minutes I can have a cheesey quesadilla on my plate. It probably takes even less time to devour them! Talk about speed...

There are an infinite number of filling combinations but my current favourite is sweetcorn, mushroom and jalapeno.  You can use canned sweetcorn but I prefer to slice fresh kernels straight of the cob. Of course cheese is a given as its the delicious glue that holds the whole thing together. I use Violife mature cheddar or vegan Applewood, grated but you can use whatever your favourite cheese is. Just make sure it's a good melting cheese. Extra pickled jalapenos and some fresh coriander leaves are a great way to finish it off adding some fresh flavour to cut through the rich cheesey corn mix.

Cut your quesadilla into wedges and eat with your hands, but prepare to get messy! But don't worry too much, these quesadillas are finger licking good!

Notes

Vegan cheese

The two best vegan cheese for melting in the UK are hands down Violife mature cheddar and Applewood. If you can't get hold of these then don't worry any cheese will do. 
Keyword chestnut mushrooms, chilli, coriander, cumin, jalapeno, spring onion, sweetcorn, tortilla
