Chorizo Corn Quesadillas
A delicious family dinner that is pretty casual and simple if you have the components ready to go. We love our Tex Mex! Do you?
This was always one of my go to dishes when the kids were busy (read, mum is too busy running the kids around to do a proper dinner) and it worked a treat as long as the components were ready to go. I confess I didn't used to make my own tortillas back in the day, ain't nobody got time for dat! Now I do.
They loved it, would often come and help on this one as there was lots of little tasks that I could set them onto, such as mashing avocados, grating cheeses or whatever. (This dates back pre-Thermomix days.)
Anyway, I know your mob will be happy with it. Hearty, tasty and very versatile. Add in the things you love, leave out anything you are not a fan of. Done.
