A very tasty lunch. Good for holidays, or a lazy weekend.
Prawn & black bean quesadillas – serves 2
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely sliced
- 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
- 150g raw king prawns
- 1 large clove of garlic, crushed
- 2 tsp hot smoked paprika
- ½ a small bunch of coriander, roughly chopped
- ½ x 400g tin black beans, drained
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 80g grated mozzarella
- mixed salad and hot sauce, to serve (optional)
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the onion and pepper and cook for about 10 minutes or until softened and starting to brown. Add the prawns to the pan and cook for 3 minutes, then add the garlic and paprika and fry for another minute. Stir in the coriander and beans, then season.
Heat another large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Put a tortilla in the pan and cover half with half the bean and prawn mixture and half the cheese. Flip the other side over to make a semi-circle and do the same with the second tortilla in the other half of the pan (or you can do one at a time if easier). Put a saucepan or something heavy on top to press down on the tortillas and cook for a minute or two. Carefully flip them over and weigh down for another minute or two. Cut each tortilla in two and serve with salad and hot sauce if you like.

We really miss cooking for friends and family which is what we do almost every weekend (and some other nights too!). So instead of prepping for the evening we’ve been making more of an effort at lunch. Last week we had these unusual quesadillas outside in the sunshine, sure beats lunch at the desk!
