Tortilla has released a new Christmas dish for those wanting a change from traditional turkey sandwiches this festive season.

The new Camembert & Cranberry Quesadilla features Cricket St Thomas British Camembert melted inside a toasted tortilla alongside Monterey Jack cheese. Customers can also add their choice of protein to the cheesy Christmas snack.


Tortilla said: “The British public has been forced to eat dry, soggy turkey sandwiches each festive season. Not this year.”

The dish comes complete with a dipping sauce and notably excludes any green vegetables – “because, who asked for those?”.
