Ingredients
  • Smoked chicken (normal chicken works if nothing else)
  • 1 Red pepper
  • Coriander
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Flour Tortillas
  • Jalapeno peppers
  • Sour cream

Regular readers of the blog will be aware that I am pretty pissed off with the same old shit for brunch at this stage so I decided to create something unique, quick and tasty for you all to create at home this weekend. We need to mix it up and stop eating the same old shit and there is no better place to start than with these kick ass Quesadillas. If you can’t find smoked chicken that cooked chicken in packets will do but make the extra effort to get the good shit. This works for brunch, a match with the lads or a movie night in. Absolutely fucking delicious so they are…

Instructions

Step 1

The ingredients are all easy to find. Please make the effort and get the smoked chicken. You’ll find it in fancy shops like Donnybrook Fair or Mortons.

Chop the fucker up into nice big chunks.

Step 8

Keep the peppers moving every couple of minutes. We are trying to make them nice and sweet by cooking slowly rather than burning them you tool!

Step 9

Grab a few Jalapenos out of the jar. You can leave these out if you are a big girl’s blouse but they really make the dish.

Step 13

Grab some cheddar and grate it. If you are a super lazy bastard grab the pre grated stuff.

Step 14

Now you should have all your prep. That is all you are going to need. Simples

Step 20

When it starts feeling warm to the touch fuck in the cheese. As a real recipe site would say “lightly sprinkle the cheese covering the surface evenly”.

Step 21

Lash in a good generous amount of coriander

Step 22

Fuck the chicken in. It is already cooked so no need to worry about cooking it through or any of that shit.

Step 23

Lash in your lovely sweet peppers and the jalapenos

Step 24

After a couple of minutes when the cheese is melting have a look to make sure the bottom isn’t burning.

Step 25

Now it is time to flip the bastard. Use a fish slice (the thing you use to fry eggs) and gently fold it in half.

Step 26

Pat it down and make sure the filling stays inside.

Step 27

Flip it a couple of times and make sure it is nice and golden brown on both sides. If you are making a few and actually have some mates or are just a fat bastard you can keep them warm in the oven.

Grab them out and serve them immediately.

Step 30

Fuck on a good dollop of the sour cream. This helps cool the chili

Step 31

There you go. BOOM. Unbelievable taste. 7 Ingredients and ready in 10 minutes. What more could you fucking want?


Screen-Shot-2014-01-25-at-10.26.03

From start to finish these are literally going to take you 10 minutes. Don’t be a lazy fucker and just go out for the usual fry up at the weekends and grab the 7 ingredients needed here and rattle them together. You can even freestyle it up and lash in whatever else you want to these. Beef, salmon, herbs, veggies. Anything works well with the same technique. Go on give them a lash you won’t regret it!
