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 Aug 2026- Flavour: The spiced BBQ pork filling is widely praised for its bold, well-balanced flavour with a pleasant kick of spice.
- Ease of prep: Most find this a quick and straightforward cook, and it works well as a family meal with minimal hands-on time.
- Suggestions: Add extra cheese and consider bulking out the filling with sweetcorn, kidney beans, or an additional pepper. Swapping mayo for sour cream as a dipping sauce is a popular idea. Some found toasting the quesadillas in a frying pan rather than baking them in the oven gave better results, and keeping a close eye on oven time helps avoid over-crisping.
- Next-day meals: Some reviewers noted the filling only stretched to four or five quesadillas rather than the suggested six, so consider using fewer wraps and filling each one more generously.
- Sides: Plain rocket on its own felt like a thin accompaniment to many; adding cherry tomatoes, red onion, or a simple dressing makes the salad feel more complete.
