Baked Tortilla Baskets



(Serves 4)

          Green Day


Ingredients:-

4 x 28g / 1oz soft tortillas
a few crisp salad leaves
6 radishes, sliced
6 ripe cherry tomatoes, halved
1 yellow pepper, grilled, de seeded and sliced
227g / 8oz very low natural cottage cheese
torn fresh coriander or flat-leaf parsley, to garnish
For the dressing:-
juice and grated zest of 1 large orange
1 small red chilli, de seeded and finely chopped
a few coriander leaves, chopped
For the hot salsa:
2 garlic cloves
3 tomatoes, skinned, de seeded and chopped
½ red onion, finely chopped
1 small red pepper, roasted, skinned, de seeded and finely chopped
1 fresh red chilli, de seeded and finely chopped
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
juice of ½ lime

Method:-
 Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6. Put each tortilla in a Yorkshire pudding mould, which has been sprayed with a little Fry Light. Press the tortillas down into the moulds to make a basket shape. Bake in the center of the oven for 8-10 minutes, until crisp and golden. Keep an eye on them to check that they do not over-brown. Remove and cool. Blend the salsa and dressing ingredients and set aside while you prepare the salad. In a bowl, mix together the salad leaves, radishes, cherry tomatoes and strips of grilled pepper. Toss gently in the dressing until well coated. Divide the salad between the tortilla baskets, top with a large spoonful of cottage cheese and some salsa. Sprinkle with torn coriander or flat-leaf parsley.
