Prawn Quesadillas with Roast Potatoes
The day was long, so dinner had to be simple - We still had some flour tortillas in the freezer
(they're a great freezer staple: quickly frozen, quickly defrosted and they come out exactly as they went in), so quesadillas instantly came to mind. There really isn't much cooking involved in preparing them. If you've got oil, tortillas and cheese and can flip a pancake that gives you none of the usual trouble, such as folding over in the process, your already there. Add some spinach (as in the recipe linked to above), fried onions, prawns (these two were my choice tonight), chopped tomato or sweetcorn, you actually have a very nice dinner.It can be served with a variety of accompaniments. Last time I stayed true to the Mexican origins of the dish and made salsa and guacamole. Tonight I was just as short of ingredients as yesterday, so we had the remaining hummus and some more green salad as well as the last of the baby potatoes that I roasted in the oven with a generous helping of Mexican spices.
