Cooking Steps
a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
b) Halve the 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.
d) Once hot, add the pork mince and pepper. Fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break up the mince as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
b) Grate the cheese.
c) Once the pork is cooked, drain and discard any excess fat, then season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: The pork is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) Add the garlic, tomato puree, Central American style spice mix and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) to the pan. Stir-fry for 1 min.
b) Stir in the BBQ sauce.
c) Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat.
a) Lay the tortillas (3 per person) onto a lightly oiled baking tray. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
b) Spoon the pork 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.
a) Rub each quesadilla with a little oil, then bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 8-12 mins.
b) While the quesadillas bake, have a little tidy and get ready to serve.
a) Once ready, transfer the quesadillas to your plates.
b) Serve the rocket on the side drizzled with the balsamic glaze.
c) Serve the mayo (see pantry for amount) alongside for dipping.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Sept 2026- Flavour: The spiced BBQ pork filling is well-seasoned and tasty, with a pleasant kick; some found the BBQ sauce a touch sweet, and a few felt the overall flavour needed a little more depth.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to put together, making it a good choice for a fast midweek meal or a fun family dinner.
- Suggestions: Add more cheese and increase the pork filling, as the supplied quantities are often not enough to fill all six tortillas generously. Consider toasting the quesadillas in a frying pan rather than the oven to avoid them drying out, and watch the baking time closely as they can crisp up faster than stated. Sour cream or guacamole on the side works well in place of plain mayo.
- Portions: The filling consistently falls short for six tortillas; most found it comfortably filled four, so adjust expectations or supplement with extra mince and cheese.
- Salad: Plain rocket on the side feels sparse; adding cherry tomatoes, red onion, or a simple dressing makes it a more satisfying accompaniment.
