Instructions

1

Slice the red onion and pepper into thin strips. Sauté in a pan with the oil until soft.

Tip: You can caramelise the onion slightly for a sweeter taste.
2

Crumble the haggis into the vegetables and fry together for a few minutes until hot and slightly browned.

Tip: Frying brings out the haggis spices.
3

Remove filling, wipe pan. Place one tortilla in. Sprinkle with half the cheese, spread over the haggis-vegetable mix, then seal with remaining cheese and the other tortilla.

Tip: Cheese acts as glue top and bottom, so the quesadilla doesn't fall apart.
4

Fry on medium heat for 2-3 minutes until bottom is golden brown and cheese starts melting. Flip using a plate and fry the other side until crispy.

5

Cut into wedges like a pizza. Serve with sour cream or hot sauce.

Recipe FAQ

What cheese should I use?
Cheddar is the best choice because it's characterful enough not to get lost beside the haggis, and melts well. Mozzarella is too neutral.
The filling falls out when turning.
Use two plates to turn, or only fill half the tortilla and fold over (half-moon shape), making it easier to handle.
