Instructions

1

a) Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.

b) Halve, peel and chop the red onion into small pieces. 

c) Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chorizo, onion and beef mince and fry until the beef has browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat.

d) Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

2

a) While the beef cooks, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Grate the cheese. 

b) Once the beef is browned, add the garlic, Central American style spice mix and tomato puree. Stir-fry for 1 min. 

c) Stir in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and cook until thickened, 2-3 mins.

d) Once thickened, remove from the heat and stir in the BBQ sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

3

a) Lay the tortillas (2 per person) onto a lightly oiled baking tray and spoon the beef filling onto one half of each one.

b) Top with the cheese, then fold the other side over to make a semi-circle. Press down to keep together.

c) Rub a little oil over the top of each one.

d) Bake your quesadillas on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 5-7 mins.

4

a) While the quesadillas bake, halve the baby plum tomatoes.

b) Pop the cider vinegar, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts) into a large bowl and toss through the tomatoes. Set aside for later.

c) Season with salt and pepper, then mix together.

5

a) Trim the baby gem, separate the leaves, then tear into bite-sized pieces.

b) Just before serving, toss through the tomatoes to coat.

6

a) When ready, share the BBQ beef and chorizo quesadillas between your plates.

b) Serve with the salad alongside.

Enjoy!

7

Step 1 MOD: Add the chorizo to the pan with the beef. Fry for the same amount of time.
