Instructions

Prep Time
1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Halve the baby plum tomatoes. Trim the root from the baby gem lettuce then separate the leaves and keep to one side. Pop the tomatoes into a bowl, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Grate the Cheddar. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Cook the Beef
2

Drain and rinse the kidney beans in a colander (see ingredients for amount.) Pop into a bowl and roughly mash with the back of a fork or a potato masher. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef mince and a pinch of salt and pepper. Fry until browned, 5-6 mins, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. TIP: Drain and discard any excess fat from the beef. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw meat. The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Stir In the Spice
3

Once the mince is browned, add the garlic, tomato puree, crushed kidney beans and chipotle paste (careful, it's spicy - add less if you don't like heat). Stir and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the water (see ingredients for amount), add the beef stock and bring to the boil. Simmer, stirring frequently until the mixture has thickened, 2-3 mins.

Assemble the Quesadillas
4

Taste the beef and add salt and pepper if you feel it needs it. Lay your tortillas on a board (2 per person). Divide the beef mixture equally between them, spooning it onto 1 half of each tortilla only. Sprinkle over the cheese, and then fold the other side over so you have a semi-circle. Press down firmly to keep together. Transfer to a lightly oiled baking tray. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. Drizzle over a little oil and bake on the middle shelf of your oven until golden, 7-8 mins.

Toss the Salad
5

Meanwhile, add the baby gem leaves to the tomatoes and toss to coat.
