Method
- Microwave the sweet potatoes on high for 10-12 minutes until soft. Heat a large non-stick frying pan and fry the sweetcorn until lightly charred, then set aside in a bowl. When the potato is cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl and mix in the defrosted petits pois, grated cheddar and mozzarella and a large handful of chopped fresh coriander. Divide the mixture equally among 4 tortilla wraps, top with 4 more wraps, then press down to sandwich together.
- Heat the pan over a medium heat and cook the quesadillas, one at a time, for 3 minutes on each side until golden and the cheese has melted. Keep warm while you cook the rest.
- Mash the avocados with the lime juice and serve alongside the quartered quesadillas, sprinkled with the charred corn, sliced spring onions and extra lime wedges for squeezing.
