Quesadillas and Guacamole  | Daily Mail Online

Dipping the gooey little pockets of quesadilla into a slushy guacamole is one of the great cheese on toast combinations, and it’s made for sharing. This may make a little more guacamole than you need, but you can find other uses for any leftovers.

Serves 2

4 small tortillas

120g (eg 6 thin slices)

leerdamer cheese

100g thinly sliced roast chicken

2 tsp chilli jam

1 spring onion, trimmed and thinly sliced

3-4 slices parma ham

•  Heat a frying pan over a medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes. Lay the tortillas on a board and cover with the cheese. Scatter the chicken over two tortillas, drizzle over the chilli jam then scatter with the spring onion. Lay the ham over the remaining two, then carefully turn this over on top of the other tortillas to make quesadillas, and gently press down.

•  Transfer one of the quesadillas to the hot pan and place under the grill for 3-4 minutes until lightly golden on top. Remove from the pan on to a board, then repeat for the other quesadilla. Cut into eight slices and serve with the guacamole (below).
