Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until the onion softens. Add the coriander and cook, stirring, for 30 secs or until fragrant. Add the combined capsicum. Cook, stirring, for a further 3 mins or until capsicum softens.
  2. Step 2

    Add the tomato, passata and stock. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 mins or until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the beans and season.
  3. Step 3

    To make the quesadillas, preheat a sandwich press. Place 4 tortillas on a clean work surface. Sprinkle with the cheese and jalapeño, if using. Top with the remaining tortillas. Cook in sandwich press, in batches, for 2 mins or until golden brown. Transfer to a clean work surface. Cut into quarters.
  4. Step 4

    Combine the sour cream, lime juice, half the lime zest and half the chives in a small bowl.
  5. Step 5

    Ladle soup among serving bowls. Spoon over the sour cream mixture and sprinkle with the remaining lime zest and chives. Serve with the quesadillas.

    Serve with lime wedges.
