    Ingredients

    • 1 large tortilla
    • 70g Cheddar cheese, grated
    • 30g tinned green chillies (drained weight), sliced
    • ⅞ tsp olive oil

    Method

    1. Set a large frying pan on the hob over a medium heat and wipe it with half the olive oil. Once it is hot, lightly brown one side of the tortilla, then move the pan off the heat.

    2. Turn the tortilla browned side up. Spread the cheddar and green chillies over one half and fold the empty half across to make a half-moon.

    3. Return the pan to the heat with the rest of the oil. Fry the half-moon until golden and crisp underneath, then turn it and crisp the other side. It is ready when the cheese inside has melted.

    4. Serve it straight away, cut into wedges.
