Delicious, fast, flavourful and easy. A minimum of ingredients and dishes are required for this sweet-and-savoury crowd pleaser. Use ordinary basil pesto if you prefer.

ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (400g) packet of chicken breast chunks
  • 250g (8 oz) grated Mozarella cheese
  • 4 tablespoons sun-dried tomato pesto, or more to taste
  • Dried cranberries (optional)
  • 2 large flour tortillas

preparation method

  1.   Heat oil in large frying pan and cook chicken over medium-high heat until chicken is white throughout. Transfer into a bowl and set aside.
  2.   In the same pan on medium, place one tortilla, and sprinkle half the cheese on top. Heat until cheese is melted.
  3.   Mix the dried cranberries and pesto sauce (in desired amounts) with the cooked chicken.
  4.   Cover the tortilla and cheese with the chicken mix. Top with the remaining cheese and the second tortilla.
  5.   Flip it over and heat until all the cheese is melted and the tortilla is slightly crispy.
  6.   Remove, slice into quarters and serve.

    I thought this was really good and tasty. The only thing was I found it really salty?? Not sure why this was, I didn't add any salt at all.
