Using mini tortillas to create these jaffle-like sandwiches is a genius hack, especially if you don’t own a sandwich maker. The filling options are endless, so use our recipe as inspiration to create the perfect quesadillas to suit your own taste buds. You’ll want to make sure you’re buying the right size tortillas for this recipe to ensure they fit perfectly into the waffle maker.

Ingredients

Cooked skinless chicken breast

50 g, shredded

Grated Mexican cheese blend

2 tbs

Red onion

1 tbs, finely chopped

Red capsicum

¼ medium, finely chopped

Pickled jalapenos in brine, drained

15 g, finely chopped (optional)

Flour tortilla(s)

4 mini, (4 x 10g), (see tip)

Oil spray

2 x 3 second spray(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat mini waffle maker (10cm diameter) and lightly spray both cooking surfaces with oil.
  2. Mix chicken, cheese, onion, capsicum and jalapenos (if using) in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place 1 tortilla onto the bottom cooking surface of waffle maker. Spoon half the chicken mixture over the top and spread evenly, leaving a ½-cm border. Top with another tortilla. Carefully pull cover down to enclose quesadilla. Press down gently and hold for about 30 seconds, or until the tortillas create a seal. Cook for a further, 3-4 minutes, until lightly golden. Carefully transfer quesadilla to a serving plate using a spatula. Repeat process with remaining tortillas to make 2 quesadillas in total, lightly spraying cooking surfaces with oil in between. Serve whole or cut in half.

Notes

When holding the waffle maker down to seal tortillas, it will be hot so make sure you wear an oven mit or hold a tea towel to protect your hand.
