Spicy Bean, Mushroom and Pepper Quesadillas (V)

2 Vegetarian Dishes in a row.... Wow I am on a roll. This one is Mexican in origin with plenty of spice and flavour. Have it as a main meal with some rice, guacamole and sour cream or for lunch

Serves: 4
Dash of Olive Oil
1 Onion, finely sliced
1 Garlic Clove, crushed
1 Red Pepper, diced
5-6 Mushrooms, sliced
Coriander, roughly torn
100g Cheese
Can of Red Kidney Beans
Can of Pinto Beands
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Chilli Powder
8 Tortillas
Salt and Pepper
200ml Salsa, Plus Extra
Guacamole (Or Make Own Here)
Sour Cream

1. Heat the oil in the frying pan. Fry the peppers and mushrooms in the pan for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

2.  Add extra oil if it needs it. Add the onions and garlic to the pan until they begin to soften (about 5 minutes). Add the paprika, cumin and chilli powder and stir in. Add the beans with a dash of water and heat through for about 5 minutes. Get a masher and mash the beans, onions and garlic together. Taste and Season. Mix with the pepper and mushrooms.

3. Take a tortilla and spread the bean mix on the tortilla. Add a bit of salsa to the top. Add the cheese and coriander. Top with another tortilla. Wipe the frying pan and dry fry the tortilla on each side for a couple of minutes. Repeat this 3 times. Serve with salsa, sour cream and guacamole.
