Method

Mix together the chicken, mayonnaise, mango chutney and tikka masala cooking sauce. Season to taste.
Make sure you have a pan large enough to fit the round of a tortilla. Place this pan over a medium heat. Lay one tortilla on the base, then sprinkle over a quarter of the grated Cheddar. Top with a quarter of the onion and pepper, then spoon over the coronation chicken mixture.
Spread over a layer of spinach leaves, and top with another tortilla. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is sizzling as it spills out the sides a little.
Flip and cook the other side for a further 2-3 mins until crispy and toasted.
Remove and repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
For the salsa, mix together the tomato, avocado and olive oil and season well. Stir through the leaves of mint, torn. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with the salsa, topped with a few smaller leaves of mint.
