Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Roughly chop baby leaves. Finely chop tomato and garlic. Thinly slice onion (see ingredients). Grate carrot. • Cut bacon into 1cm pieces. 

Cook the filling
2

• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook plant-based mince, bacon and carrot, breaking up mince with a spoon, until just browned, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic, All-American spice blend and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and cook until slightly reduced, 1 minute.

Assemble the quesadillas
3

• Arrange mini flourtortillas over a lined oven tray. Divide mince filling between tortillas, spooning it onto one half of each tortilla. Fold the empty half of each tortilla over to enclose filling and press down with a spatula. Brush (or spray) tortillas with a drizzle of olive oil and season. • Bake until tortillas are golden, 10-12 minutes. Spoon any overflowing filling back into the tacos.

Make the caramelised onion
4

• Meanwhile, wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and a splash of water. Mix well, then cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes.

Make the salad
5

• In a medium bowl, combine baby leaves, tomato and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.

Finish & serve
6

• Divide smokey bacon and veggie mince baked tacos between plates. Top with caramelised onion and leafy salsa. • Drizzle with plant-based mayo to serve. Enjoy!
