Cooking Steps
1
- Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on high heat.
- Once hot, fry the mince and onion, 5-6 mins. Break up the mince as it cooks, then drain the fat.
- Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
2
- Meanwhile, grate the Cheddar cheese.
- Add the tomato puree, beef stock paste, ketchup and water for the sauce (see pantry for both) to the beef. Simmer 2-3 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lay half of the tortillas onto a lightly oiled baking tray.
- Top the tortillas with the beef mince and grated cheddar.
3
- Lay the remaining tortillas directly on top of the loaded tortillas, sandwiching them shut and lightly pressing down to keep them together.
- Rub a little oil over the top of each one, then bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 5-7 mins.
- Meanwhile, quarter, core and thinly slice the apple (no need to peel).
- In a large bowl, mix together the cider vinegar, oil and sugar for the dressing (see pantry for both). Season with salt and pepper.
4
- Add the apple and baby leaves to the dressing and toss together.
- Quarter the quesadillas and share between your serving plates.
- Drizzle over the burger sauce.
- Serve the apple and baby leaf salad alongside.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Sept 2026- Flavour: The beef filling is well-received and the burger sauce is a highlight, though some find the overall flavour a little plain and would welcome a spice mix.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to put together, though the assembly can feel fiddly and the quesadillas are tricky to eat without a knife and fork.
- Suggestions: Consider folding the tortillas burrito-style rather than sandwiching them, and put the burger sauce inside rather than drizzling it on top for easier eating. Adding smoked paprika or a spice mix to the beef can boost flavour.
- Next-day meals: The salad dressing can be quite vinegary, so go easy on the cider vinegar if you prefer a milder flavour.
- Oven tips: The recipe does not specify an oven temperature or remind you to preheat — try 200°C fan and allow extra time beyond the stated 15 minutes.
