    Instructions

    1 Spray corn with olive oil. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat and add corn. Cook and stir 5 minutes, or until golden. Transfer to a large bowl and cool slightly. Add the canned beans, avocado, coriander, onion and lime juice. Season. Stir to combine.

    2 Preheat a sandwich press (see Tips if you don’t have a sandwich press). Place half of the tortillas onto a work surface. Spread with chutney. Top with pork and cheese. Top with remaining tortillas. Cook in sandwich press, in batches, for 2 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Transfer to serving plates.

    3 Spread the quesadillas with sour cream. Top with corn salsa. Sprinkle with some chilli flakes, if desired, and serve quesadillas with lime cheeks and side salad.

    HFG tip

    If you don’t have a sandwich press, put the tortilla oiled side down in a preheated pan . Place a heavy pan on top and give it a gentle press. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until done. Repeat on other side.
