½
Onion
2 clove
garlic
1
carrot
1 tin
sweetcorn
2 packet
plant-based mince
1 sachet
All-American Spice Blend
1 packet
BBQ Sauce
6
Mini Flour Tortillas
1 packet
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 packet
baby leaves
olive oil
¼ cup
white wine vinegar
20 g
butter
• Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Thinly slice onion (see ingredients). • In a small bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Scrunch the sliced onion in your hands, then add it to the pickling liquid. Add enough water to just cover the onion and set aside until serving. • Finely chop the garlic. Grate the carrot. Drain the sweetcorn.
• Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the sweetcorn and cook until lightly charred, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are “popping” out.
• Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the carrot and plant-based mince and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 2-3 minutes (cook in batches if required). • Add the All-American spice blend, garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the BBQ sauce, the butter and a good dash of water. Stir to combine and cook until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. Season.
• Arrange the mini flour tortillas over a lined oven tray. Divide the plant-based mince mixture among the tortillas, spooning it onto one half of each tortilla, then top with shredded Cheddar cheese. • Fold the empty half of each tortilla over to enclose the filling and press down with a spatula. Brush or spray the tortillas with a drizzle of olive oil and season. • Bake the quesadillas until the cheese has melted and the tortillas are golden, 10-12 minutes. Spoon any overflowing filling and cheese back into the quesadillas.
• While the quesadillas are baking, drain the pickled onion (reserve some pickling liquid!), roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. • To the bowl with the corn, add the pickled onion, spinach, a splash of the pickling liquid and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to combine and season to taste.
• Divide the plant-based mince quesadillas between plates. • Top the quesadillas with the charred corn salsa. Enjoy!
