I have Amin to thank for this recipe inspiration, every year he is the head chef for our team's End of Year Christmas BBQ. Last year he made amazing Quesadillas on the BBQ, since Christmas I've been trying to re-create them and here's my version, a filling lunch alternative to the home made toasted sandwich.

I love the combinations of refried beans, chicken, avocado, salsa and melted cheese; but the great thing about this dish is you can use anything you like from chorizo, to caramelised onion, corn and even add some heat with jalapeños.

Add what you want to yours and do what I do at home, wrap the quesadillas in foil and write who it's for prior to barbecuing so theirs no surprises when eating.

Ingredients

  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 435 g canned refried bean (I use the beans with chilli)
  • 1 cooked chicken breast (or ½ a pre cooked BBQ chicken, cubed)
  • 2 spring onions (Sliced)
  • 1 avocado (Cubed)
  • 150 g salsa
  • ¾ cup tasty cheese (Grated)

Instructions

Keep screen awake
  • 1
    On one tortilla spread refried beans over the top (you want it to be rather thick), add chicken, spring onions, avocado, drizzle salsa over the tortilla and sprinkle cheese over the top. Add second tortilla over the top of the fillings and wrap with foil. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • 2
    On a hot BBQ grill, cook the tortillas for about on each side or until the cheese is melted.
  • 3
    Unwrap the tortillas and with scissors cut the tortillas into quarters.
  • 4
    Serve with coriander and a salad.
