Hot cheese and salsa turnovers recipe
A great idea for a quick, tasty light lunch that's just a bit different!
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 10 mins
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 small red onion, peeled and finely chopped
- quarter of a cucumber, finely chopped
- 1g finely chopped fresh coriander or parsley, or 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 4 soft wholewheat flour tortillas
- 60g reduced-fat hard cheese, grated
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
Method
-
In a bowl, make the salsa by mixing together the tomatoes, red onion, cucumber and coriander or parsley (if using).
Information:Fire up the filling a little by adding half a teaspoon of finely chopped red or green chilli – or enough to suit your taste!
-
Heat a non-stick frying pan and add a few drops of vegetable oil. Add 1 of the tortillas and turn it in the pan so that its base is lightly oiled.
-
Sprinkle over a quarter of the salsa mixture, spreading it evenly across the surface. Then sprinkle a quarter of the cheese, and season with black pepper.
-
Cook over a medium heat for a couple of minutes, until the cheese starts to melt and the tortilla is lightly browned. Fold in half, set aside and keep warm.
-
Cook the remaining tortillas in the same way. Slice each in half and serve.
Information:Next time, try using 4 or 5 chopped spring onions instead of red onion.
