Cooking Instructions and Tips

Time to Fry

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

b) Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into small 1cm chunks.

c) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Quick Prep

2

a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Grate the cheese.

Spice Things Up

3

a) Add the garlic, tomato puree, Central American style spice mix and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) to the pan. Cook, stirring to combine, for 1 min.

b) Stir the BBQ sauce into the pan.

c) Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat.

Make your Quesadillas

4

a) Lay the tortillas (3 per person) onto a lightly oiled baking tray. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

b) Spoon the beef filling onto one half of each tortilla and top with the cheese.

c) Fold the other side over to make a semi-circle. Press down to keep together.

Ready, Steady, Bake

5

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