Cooking Instructions
Preheat oven to 200 ̊C/400 ̊F. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Heat a small frying pan over a high heat, then add the coriander and cumin seeds and toast for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Using a pestle and mortar, crush the seeds. You could also pulse in a coffee grinder. Place the shredded chicken in a bowl. Top with the crushed seeds and stir well.
Using a fork, mash the kidney beans in a bowl. Add the spring onions, sweetcorn, chipotle paste, salt and pepper. Stir well.
Place a tortilla wrap on the lined baking tray. Brush one side with a little oil then turn it over. Spread the kidney bean mixture evenly over the tortilla. Top with the chicken and cheese.
Place a second tortilla over the top, and press down firmly. Lightly brush the surface of the wrap with oil.
Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are a light golden colour. Cut the quesadilla into 6 pieces.
