Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice onion (see ingredients). Grate carrot. Drain sweetcorn. Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot.

Char the corn
2

• Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook sweetcorn until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside. TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are “popping” out.

Make the filling
3

• Return the frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot, onion and lamb mince, breaking up mince with a spoon, until just browned, 4-6 minutes. • SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! Reduce the heat to low, then add garlic, Louisiana spice blend, tinned tomatoes and the butter and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water and a pinch of brown sugar, then stir and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.

Bake the quesadillas
4

• Arrange mini flourtortillas on a lined oven tray. Divide the lamb mixture among 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. Bake quesadillas until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden, 10-12 minutes. Spoon any overflowing filling back into the quesadillas. TIP: Place a sheet of baking paper and a second oven tray on top of the quesadillas if they unfold during cooking.

Make the salsa
5

• While the quesadillas are baking, finely chop cucumber. • Add cucumber and a drizzle of olive oil to the charred corn. Season to taste.

Finish & serve
6

• Divide cheesy Louisiana lamb quesadillas between plates. Top with charred corn salsa and dollop with Greek-style yoghurt to serve. Enjoy!
