Instructions

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 then 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.

2

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

Grate the cheese. Drain and rinse the sweetcorn in a sieve.

Trim the baby gem, then halve lengthways. Thinly slice widthways. Chop the tomatoes into 2cm chunks.

In a large bowl, combine the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper. Stir through the tomatoes, then set aside.

3

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

Once hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat.

Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

4

Add the garlic and Central American style spice mix to the beef. Cook, stirring, for 1 min.

Stir in the tomato puree, chicken stock paste, sweetcorn and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Cook until piping hot, 1-2 mins.

5

Lay the tortillas (2 per person) onto a lightly oiled baking tray.

Spoon the beef and corn filling onto one half of each one. Top with the cheese.

Fold the other side over to make a semi-circle. Press down to keep together, then rub each with a little oil.

When the wedges have about 15 mins left, bake the quesadillas onto the top shelf of your oven until golden, 12-15 mins.

6

When the quesadillas are ready, remove them from the oven.

Add the baby gem to the bowl of tomatoes and toss to coat.

Serve the quesadillas with the salad and wedges alongside with a dollop of mayo and ketchup for dipping (see pantry for amount).

Enjoy!

Step 3 MOD: Cook the beef mince in the same way as the pork.
