Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. 1. Prepare the salsa and relish.* Set aside. Heat oven to 450F. Position 2 tortillas on an ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle half the cheeses, onion, jalapeno, zucchini and corn on each. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. 2. Place one of the two tortillas atop the other and the third tortilla atop the second. Transfer to the oven and bake until cheese has melted and tortillas are becoming crisp (about 10 min.).
  3. 3. Cut tortilla into quarters, garnish each with tomato salsa and avocado relish and serve hot.
