Taco and Mexican cuisine are a delight to savor, and I find them quite easy to make. However, we often end up with leftover tortilla bread that tends to go stale since we rarely use them again. Being committed to a no-waste policy, I always try to repurpose them into a new dish on another day. This time, I opted to transform them into crispy fried tortillas filled with flavourful chicken and potato stuffing. The result? A dish we enjoyed immensely, prompting me to plan on making them as tasty snacks for picnics once the weather warms up.
Ingredients:
Several tortilla breads
2 chicken breasts, cut in bite-sized pieces
2 potatoes
1 onion
1 dl sweet corn
1 yellow bell pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
1 dl grated cheese
oil for frying
Method:
1. Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
In a deep pan over high heat, fry the chicken pieces with a sprinkle of the
spices. Add the sliced potatoes, diced onion, and bell pepper, along with the
remaining spices. Stir in the sweet corn and mix everything well. Cover the pan
with a lid and reduce the heat, allowing the stuffing to simmer until the
potatoes are tender and the flavors meld together.
2. Once the stuffing is cooked through, place one tortilla
bread in the pan and spoon half of the prepared stuffing onto one side of the
bread. Fold the other half over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Fry
the filled tortilla until golden brown on one side, then flip and fry the other
side until crispy and golden. Add a little more oil to the pan if needed.
Serve the fried tortilla bread with chicken stuffing hot,
alongside a refreshing green salad for a lovely meal bursting with flavors.
Enjoy these crispy and flavorful quesadillas as a satisfying
snack or meal, perfect for any occasion!
Enjoy!
