Ingredients

  • 2 flour tortillas
  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1 red sweet pepper
  • 75 grams feta
  • 2 spring onions
  • 0.5 lime
  • 1 red chilli pepper
  • 0.5 bunch coriander

Instructions

  • Turn your oven up to a high heat (at least gas mark 6) and place the red pepper and sweet potato into the oven.
  • Leave these to roast for 30mins until the sweet potato is soft and the pepper has begun to blacken.
  • Once the pepper and potato have roasted remove from the oven to cool slightly.
  • Scoop the potato flesh from the skin and add to a bowl with the sliced pepper and spring onions before stirring in chilli, juice of the lime, coriander and crumbled feta.
  • Stir the mixture well so the flavours are evenly distributed.
  • Place the first flour tortilla into a griddle pan on a medium heat.
  • Spread the potato mix oven the tortilla evenly and top with the second tortilla.
  • Heat the quesadilla for five minutes on both sides before serving.

Notes

Take a shortcut!

For a quick dinner, cut the pepper in half and blacken in a hot griddle pan. The sweet potato can also be softened in a microwave on high heat for 10 minutes.
