Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat a greased frying pan over medium heat. Add the mushroom and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins or until soft. Transfer to a plate and drain any liquid from the pan.

  2. Step 2

    Return the pan to medium heat. Add the capsicum and cook, stirring, for 3 mins or until tender. Return the mushroom to the pan with the chilli, if using, and cook, stirring, for 2-3 mins or until the mixture is heated through and the chilli is tender.

  3. Step 3

    Place the wraps on a clean work surface. Spread each wrap with 2 tsp salsa. Divide the mushroom mixture among wraps and top with cheddar. Fold in half to enclose filling.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a sandwich press or greased frying pan. Cook the quesadillas, 1 at a time, for 2 mins or until golden brown and the cheddar melts. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

  5. Step 5

    Divide quesadillas among serving plates and serve with lime wedges.

Recipe tip

COOK. STORE. SAVE. 
Enjoy the leftover salsa with tortilla chips, or use it to make our chicken tortillas at coles.com.au/speedychickentortillas.

COOK IT RIGHT
Buy it right
Ripe jalapeño chillies should be firm, bright green and the skin should have a nice sheen.

Store it right
Place whole jalapeño chillies in a paper bag and store in the crisper of the fridge until you’re ready to use them. They’ll last for up to 1 week.

Cook it right 
If you prefer a milder kick, remove the chilli seeds and discard before cooking.
