Cooking Steps

1
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Grate carrot. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook carrot 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, then 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 over a lined oven tray. • Divide the pork filling 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.

TIP: Place a sheet of baking paper and a second oven tray on top of the quesadillas if they unfold during cooking.

• 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.
