Step by step instruction of cooking Quesadillas with pumpkin

Шаг 1

Recipe of Mexican tortillas (tortiya) you can podpadut on this link: https://www.povarenok.ru/recipes/show/31953/
They can be cooked in advance and freeze, like I usually do. It is very convenient.

Шаг 2

First of all turn on the oven at 220 degrees. Meanwhile clean the pumpkin from the peel and cut into small cubes (1-1,5 cm). Add to it 1 tbsp of olive oil and two kinds of pepper and mix well so that all the pumpkin is covered with oil.

Шаг 3

And while the pumpkin is baking, cut excess fat from chicken Breasts and cut them in small pieces (around 1.5 cm).

Шаг 4

Fry chicken in 2 tbsp olive oil until tender. At the end of the process add salt and cumin.

Шаг 5

Combine the chicken with the beans (without the liquid), the finished pumpkin along with the juice and chopped herbs.

Шаг 6

RUB cheese on a coarse grater and mix with other components. Suggest to mix it up gently so the pieces of pumpkin, if possible, remained intact. Then a nice sweet pumpkin flavor will be more noticeable in the finished dish.

Then in a skillet heated 1/3 of butter and put in a tortilla.

Шаг 8

On tortilla, spread 1/3 of the filling distributed and cover with the second tortilla.

Шаг 9

After about a minute and a half cover with this design the plate is about the same size and with broad blades all turn on the same plate. And immediately move the pan back to the other side. Hope you understand what I mean. In short, our task is to flip over the burrito without loss. But this method with a plate simplifies the task.
Fry on the reverse side for another minute. Tortillas should be lightly browned, and the cheese to melt and "glue" it all together. Now follow the same procedure with the remaining tortillas and filling, not forgetting to add the butter.
