Cooking Steps
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.
Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Grate the cheese.
Drain and rinse the sweetcorn in a sieve.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the pork 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. The pork is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Add the garlic and Central American style spice mix to the pork. 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.
Lay the tortillas (2 per person) onto a lightly oiled baking tray.
Spoon the pork 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.
When the quesadillas are ready, remove them from the oven.
Carefully snip a small hole off the corner of the mayonnaise sachet and pipe a spider web shape onto each quesadilla. Get any little devils with you involved in the fun!
Serve the wedges alongside with a dollop of ketchup for dipping (see pantry for amount).
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: Most found the quesadillas tasty and well-seasoned, though a few felt the filling lacked depth without extra ingredients.
- Ease of prep: Straightforward to put together, though assembling the quesadillas neatly and keeping the filling inside can take a little care.
- Suggestions: Add peppers, mushrooms, or beans to bulk out the filling; sour cream, lime, or a simple salad on the side adds freshness. Some found the Central American spice mix quite hot, so adjust the amount if cooking for young children.
- Next-day meals: The wedges and quesadillas are quite carb-heavy together, so a side salad or extra vegetables helps balance the plate.
- Spider web decoration: The mayo spider web is a fun activity for children, though some adults found it fiddly or felt it added little to the flavour.
