With a packet of tortilla on hand, quesadilla are the quickest thing to make for an easy lunch. I will often stick two together with pesto, ham and cheese and place into a hot frying pan for three minutes each side, and then cut in wedges and eat. These black bean ones are a little more substantial but well worth taking a few more minutes. Taco seasoning is available from all supermarkets in varying heats. Add chicken or shredded pork for the meat eater. Up to your interpretation, but guaranteed to keep everyone in the family happy. When your teenagers are hungry, let them loose in the kitchen to make these.

  2. Add the black beans and corn. Continue to cook for 5 minutes. Stir through the spring onions and coriander then season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the tortillas in the oven for 3 minutes to make them pliable.
  4. Spread the mixture over the soft tortilla. Sprinkle over the cheese and coriander. Fold the tortilla in half, then half again.
  5. Place onto a baking tray and back into the oven for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortilla a little crispy.
