How to make chorizo, potato and thyme quesadillas

Step 1. Cut the potatoes in equal-size chunks and fry until tender. Leave them to cool a little and then cut them into 1cm dice. Cook the onion until soft, add the garlic and cook for a further 3 minutes. Mix in the chorizo and potato, turn up the heat and fry for another 5 minutes. Mix in the thyme and season. Assemble all the rest of the quesadilla ingredients

Step 3. Fold the tortilla over so that you have a half moon. Brush it with a little olive oil (so the tortilla doesn't stick to the pan) and place in a hot, dry frying pan or griddle and cook until golden and crisp. Repeat with the remaining tortillas
