The funny thing with cucumber salad is that it looks like so much more than it actually is. Paired with quesadillas it's great because it's fresh and in a way it counters the bread in the quesadilla. This recipe is counted for one person an this is what you need;
For the chicken:
chicken, about 150g or so
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp worchestershire sauce
2 tbsp tomato puree
salt
black pepper
cumin
paprika powder
lime juice
For the rest:
2 tortilla breads
1 dl mashed tomatoes (canned)
1 dl grated cheese
½ red paprika
½ cucumber
lime zest
lime juice
sour cream
Start by marinating the chicken. I recommend doing this 15 min before you start to cook it, but the longer it's allowed to marinate the better. Fry the chicken until it's well cooked through, which is for about 10 min. Take the chicken away from the stove and let it cool while you mix mashed tomatoes and the grated cheese into a bowl. Pull the chicken into pieces and mix it together with the tomato an cheese mix. Place one of the tortillas on a flat surface and spread out the filling, and then place the other tortilla over it.
Put the uncooked quesadilla in a dry pan and place it on the stove on medium/high heat. After about 3-5 min you can use a spatula to see if the tortilla has started to get any color, if it has - flip it over. If it hasn't let it be for a few more minutes until you flip it.
Whilst the quesadilla is cooking start with the salad. Take the cucumber and shave it so that you get long thin strips. I found it easier to split the cucumber in half length-wise as well. Take your red paprika and slice it into thin slices, and thats about all you have to do with your cucumber salad.
Plate everything and drizzle some lime juice over the salad. Garnish the quesadillas with some sour cream and lime zest and voilà
Jättefräscht!
