Expert Tips

  • Calabacita is a Mexican vegetable mixture of sweetcorn, courgette, onion and chillies. However you can add any vegetables you have in the fridge to make them. Just be careful not to overfill or you may have trouble turning them over!
  • Keep cooked quesadillas warm in a low oven while cooking the remaining ones.
  • Cooking Vegetarian? Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is vegetarian. Products and ingredient sources can change.
