Inspired by the Spanish word ‘queso’, which means cheese, you will smile from ear to ear when you taste this quesadilla. Filled with salty chorizo, meaty black beans, sweet pops of corn, tangy cooked tomato and, of course, two cheeses! Wrapped in a wheat flour tortilla, which is pan toasted until crispy before dollops of coriander-infused sour cream complete the meal. Served with a corn, cucumber & coriander salad.

READY THE RAGU
Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the Corn until charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove half the corn from the pan and set aside. To the pot with the remaining corn, add the Onion and fry until softening, 4-5 minutes. Add the NOMU spice blend, and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Stir through the cooked chopped tomato and 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Simmer until reduced and thickened, 10-12 minutes (stirring occasionally).
CHORIZO & BEANS
When the ragù has 2-3 minutes remaining, stir through the chorizo and the black beans until heated through. Remove from the heat and add a sweetener (to taste) and seasoning.
Corn SALAD & SOUR CREAM
In a bowl, combine the reserved Corn, the Cucumber, ½ the coriander, and add seasoning. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining coriander, the sour cream, and seasoning.
TASTY TORTILLA
Place one tortilla in a clean pan over medium heat. Top with the Corn and bean mixture, the jalapeños (to taste), and the cheese. Sandwich the loaded tortilla with the remaining tortilla. Heat until golden, 1-2 minutes. [Repeat|#7DA0D7 with|#7DA0D7 the|#7DA0D7 remaining|#7DA0D7 tortillas.]|#7DA0D7

Cover the pan with a chopping board or a plate. Flip the pan quickly, so the quesadilla flips onto the board or plate.
