Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook soffritto and pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes.
• SPICY! The spice blend is hot, use less if you're sensitive to heat. Add Mexican Fiesta spice blend and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and brown sugar, then stir to combine. Cook until heated through, 1 minute.
• Arrange mini flour tortillas on a lined oven tray. • Divide pork mixture between tortillas, spooning it over one half of each tortilla, then top with shredded Cheddar cheese. • Fold the empty half of each tortilla over to enclose and press down gently with a spatula.
• Brush or spray tortillas with a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. • Bake quesadillas, until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden, 10-12 minutes. Spoon any overflowing filling and cheese 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.
• Meanwhile, finely chop radish. Thinly slice spring onion. Slice lemon into wedges. • In a medium bowl, combine radish, spring onion, a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste.
• Divide cheesy Mexican pork quesadillas between plates. • Top with radish-spring onion salsa. • Serve with a dollop of sour cream and any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
