Instructions

Start the Wedges
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel).

Pop the wedges onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until golden, 30-40 mins. Turn halfway through.

Meanwhile, grate the cheese.

Make the Filling
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the meat-free mince to the pan and stir-fry, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Ensure it's piping hot throughout.

Add the Mexican style spice mix and stir-fry for 1 min. 

Add the tomato puree, water for the sauce, ketchup and honey (see pantry for all 3 amounts). Bring to the boil, then simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, 2-3 mins.

Assemble the Quesadillas
3

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

Spread the cheese sauce onto the other side of the tortillas.

Top the mince with the grated cheese. Fold together to make a semi-circle. Press down lightly to keep together.

Time to Bake
4

Rub a little oil over the top of each quesadilla, then bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 8-12 mins.

Make the Salad
5

Meanwhile, quarter, core and thinly slice the apple (no need to peel).

In a large bowl, combine the cider vinegar, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper

When everything's ready, add the apple and rocket leaves to the dressing and toss to evenly coat. TIP: Don't add the leaves too early or they'll go soggy.

Serve
6

Share the quesadillas, wedges and salad between your plates. 

Add dollops of mayonnaise (see pantry for amount) on the side for dipping.
