Method

6 steps
  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, chilli flakes, oregano and garlic. Season with pepper and spread over the chicken thighs.

  2. Step 2

    Cover with cling film and leave to marinate in the fridge for an hour, or longer if you have the time.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, finely chop the cherry tomatoes and avocado. Sitr through the sweetcorn and the rest of the mayonnaise. Season with black pepper and the lime juice.

  4. Step 4

    Once marinated, BBQ the chicken over a medium heat for about 15 minutes, turning frequently. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes before chopping roughly and stirring through the quesadilla mixture.

  5. Step 5

    Spread the mixture evenly across half of each tortilla, sprinkle with grated cheddar and fold over the empty half of the tortilla, pressing down firmly.

  6. Step 6

    Lay the quesadillas over the BBQ and grill over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. Cut into wedges and serve immediately, with lettuce.
