Instructions

  • Heat a griddle or non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add a tortilla and top with a quarter of the turkey mix, cheese and coriander.
  • Place a second tortilla on top and cook for 1-2 minutes before flipping and cooking on the other side or until the cheese becomes molten and gooey.
  • Serve the quesadillas cut up with the salsa for dunking.
