b) Stir the BBQ sauce into the pan and mix well.

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

4

a) Lay the tortillas (3 per person) onto a lightly oiled baking tray.

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.

5

a) Rub each quesadilla with a little oil, then bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 4-6 mins.

b) Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks.

c) In a medium salad bowl, combine the tomato chunks with the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.

6

a) Once ready, transfer the quesadillas to your plates.

b) Add the rocket to the tomato bowl, toss to coat and serve alongside the quesadillas.
