The Method

1
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking oil or butter.

Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted and gooey. Use a spatula to flip the quesadilla carefully.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of dried chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the bobotie mixture.

If you don't have a skillet or griddle, you can grill the quesadillas in a panini press or on an outdoor grill.

Customize the filling with other ingredients such as sauteed onions, peppers, or corn.

Serve with a dollop of plain yogurt or sour cream for dipping.
