Beef Quesadillas

These are one of my favourites, quick and easy and probably not the most authentic recipe but they go down well!

Ingredients

  • 500g lean (5% fat) beef mince
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 2 tsp of chilli powder (add more if you like a lot of spice)
  • 2 tsp of oregano
  • cheddar cheese (add as much as you like, and you can use any cheese you like)
  • 1 lime
  • 4 tortillas

Serves 4

Directions

  1. Fry the garlic and chilli in a pan for 2-3 minutes, then add the beef and oregano and brown the mince.  Add the juice of half of a lime. I like the beef to be quite dry for these so the tortillas aren’t soggy.
  2. Place a tortilla on a hot pan and cover half of it with grated cheese, then add the beef and top with a little more cheese. Fold the tortilla over to cover the beef mixture.
  3. Repeat this process for all of the tortillas and keep finished ones warm in the oven.
  4. Serve with hot cause and sour cream.

This is recipes always goes down well, another option is to have chorizo and spring onion as the filling. I just fry chorizo with some lime juice and use that as a filling with cheese. Simple and tasty, perfect if your busy midweek but want to cook.
