Ingredients

    Salsa ingredients

    • 1 yellow pepper diced
    • 1 small mango, peeled and diced
    • 8 cherry tomatoes
    • 3 spring onions chopped
    • 1 lime, juice only
    • Salt and peppes 

    Quesadilla Ingredients

    • 4 tortillas
    • 150g cheddar cheese grated
    • 250g chicken, cooked
    • 1 green or red pepper diced
    • Handful of coriander leaves
    • Sour cream and guacamole

Cooking Instructions

    • For the salsa mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
    • For quesadillas, lay two tortillas out on a flat surface. Top each with cheese, followed by the chicken peppers and coriander. Place the remaining tortillas on top and press down gently.
    • Heat a frying pan on a medium to hot heat and add one quesadilla at a time to the pan. Fry without any oil for 2-3 minutes on each side until tortilla is crisp and the cheese has melted, and the chicken heated through.
    • To serve once cooked, spoon soured cream and guacamole on the side.

Week 18 TODO's

  1. Why not start to plan a pre babymoon? A final little getaway with you and your partner before your 2 becomes 3!
  2. I’m sure by now, you are struggling to fit into your ordinary clothes. It might be time for a shopping spree, but without splashing the cash. Supermarkets have a great selection of maternity clothes that won’t break the bank.
  3. Before your scan, its best to point out if you want to find out the gender of your baby as not all women do.
