Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Finely chop the red onion. (If you like raw onion in a salsa, reserve a spoonful for later!) Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Grate the carrot (unpeeled). Drain the sweetcorn. Chop the chicken thigh into 1cm pieces.
TIP: Cut the chicken thigh into small pieces so the quesadillas hold together!
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook, tossing occasionally, until cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside (the chicken will continue cooking in step 3).
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil, if needed. Add the onion and cook until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic, carrot and sweetcorn and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 3-4 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan along with the Tex-Mex spice blend, tomato paste and the salt and stir to combine. Add the water and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 1-2 minutes.
Lay 1/2 the mini flour tortillas (see ingredients list) on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Divide the chicken mixture between the tortillas and top with a sprinkling of shredded Cheddar cheese. Top with the remaining tortillas. Press down on the tortillas gently with a spatula. Brush or spray the tortillas with a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake the quesadillas until the cheese has melted and the tortillas are golden, 10-12 minutes.
While the quesadillas are baking, roughly chop the coriander. Roughly chop the tomato. In a small bowl, add the tomato, coriander, vinegar and any reserved red onion. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
Cut the quesadillas into quarters and divide between plates. Spoon over the Greek yoghurt and serve with the salsa.
