Instructions

Get Prepped
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Lay the chicken thighs flat onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then add the chipotle paste and garlic. Mix to coat well.
When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until browned and cooked through, 16-18 mins.
When the chicken has 5 mins left, add the chorizo to the tray to cook for the remaining time. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw chicken and its packaging. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Prep the Veg
2

Meanwhile, chop the sweet potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).
Halve the avocado and remove the stone. Use a tablespoon to scoop the flesh onto a board, then chop into chunks.
Halve the lime and baby plum tomatoes. Grate the Cheese.

Chips and Salsa Time
3

Pop the sweet potato chips onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
Roast on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, add the avocado, tomato and olive oil for the salsa (see pantry for amount) to a medium bowl. Squeeze in the juice of the lime, then season well. Mix together, then set your salsa aside.

Make your Quesadillas
4

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and use two forks to shred it as finely as you can. Mix everything on the tray together well.
Lay the tortillas (2 per person) onto a board and spoon the chicken mixture onto one half of each one. Top with the cheese.
Fold the other side over to make a semi-circle. Press down to keep together.

Time to Fry
5

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
When hot, carefully lay in the quesadillas and fry until golden, 2-3 mins each side. Turn carefully and adjust the heat as needed.
Lightly press down on the quesadillas with a spatula to ensure they stick together and brown nicely. TIP: You may have to do this in batches, adding a little more oil to the pan each time.

Serve
6

When everything is ready, transfer the quesadillas to your plates.
Serve with the sweet potato chips, avocado salsa and a dollop of soured cream alongside.
Cut any remaining lime into wedges for squeezing over.
Enjoy!
