Tip

If you enjoy chili, season the ground meat filling with your favorite chili sauce or finish the individual servings with it — especially if not everyone is a fan of spicy food.

1
Rinse and cut the cherry tomatoes in halves or quarters into a bowl. Peel and finely chop half of the red onion and add it to the bowl. Grate the zest of the washed half lime and squeeze in the juice. Season with sugar, salt, and black pepper.
2
Peel and finely chop the remaining half of the red onion and the garlic cloves. Rinse the beans in a sieve and leave them to drain.
3
Cut the chicken breast fillets into strips. Preheat the oven to 225°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
4
Heat a frying pan with oil. Add the ground chicken and cook for about 4–5 minutes, stirring. Add the onions to the pan. Season with salt, black pepper, and cumin, and continue cooking briefly.
5
Add the tomato purée and beans to the pan. Stir in a bit of water and heat the mixture.
6
Arrange the tortilla wraps on the baking tray. Spoon the meat mixture onto one half of each wrap and sprinkle grated cheese on top. Fold the wraps into half-moon shapes. Transfer to the oven and bake for about 8–10 minutes or until the cheese is golden.
7
Serve the quesadillas with pico de gallo and sour cream.
