Butternut & Black Bean Quesadillas

To create an oozey filling for my quesadilla, i decided to use a gooey oven roasted butternut squash mixed with cumin.

To make 1 portion

  • ¼ butternut squash, roughly diced

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 2 tbsp black beans

  • 1 spring onion, sliced

  • 40g flour

  • 25g water

  • Olive oil

  • Salt & pepper

To cook

Pre heat your oven to 190c

Roast your squash in olive oil, cumin, paprika, olive oil, salt & pepper for about 30 minutes until soft. Then mash with a fork, add the black beans and spring onions.

Meanwhile, make a dough by mixing 40g flour with 25g water and a pinch of salt. Knead for a minute on a worktop then roll into a circle about 20cm in diameter. Cook for about 5 seconds in a dry preheated frying pan to set the shape of of the tortilla then spoon on the filling and fold in half. Add a splash of olive oil to the pan and cook for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
