Quesadillas with guacamole
A quesadilla is basically a Mexican-style stuffed pancake, like a toasted sandwich, made with two tortillas sandwiched together with a cheese-based filling. They are warmed through and served with guacamole and soured cream. They are one of my favourite things to eat – Jools and I tend to have them every Saturday because we love them!
