Method

Derek Sarno

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Remove the stems from the mushrooms, dice and set aside. Line a baking tray with baking paper, add the mushrooms, gill side up, and sprinkle over 1 tsp BBQ rub. Roast for 15 mins until soft and starting to release their juices. Transfer to a bowl, flipping them over to drain (reserving the juices). Leave to cool, then cut into 1cm strips.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, then fry the onion and mushroom stems for 5 mins, stirring until lightly browned. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and clean out the pan.
  3. Pierce the sweet potato all over with a knife, then microwave on high for 5 mins until cooked. Allow to cool slightly, then halve and scoop out the flesh into the bowl with the onion mixture. Add the beans and BBQ sauce, if using, and roughly mash. Stir through the jalapeños, cumin, remaining BBQ rub and the reserved mushroom juices. Season with pepper.
  4. Divide the filling between 4 tortilla wraps, and spread it out evenly. Layer over the sliced mushrooms and coriander, if using, then cover with a second tortilla and gently press together. Heat the large frying pan over a medium-high heat, gently slide in a filled quesadilla and dry-fry for 1 min to lightly brown. Flip carefully with a spatula and brown on the other side for 1 min. Transfer to a baking tray and repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
  5. Cover with foil and transfer to the oven for 10 mins until piping hot throughout. Serve with salsa and crème fraîche, if you like.
