Ingredients
  

  • 500 gram beef mince lean, free range
  • 8 wholewheat/tortilla wrap brand: Mission or Old el Paso OR gluten free alternative
  • 1 brown onion finely diced
  • 1-2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium carrot grated
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • sea salt & ground white pepper to season

Crunchy Slaw

  • 2 cup cabbage red, white or combo or you can use pre-packed slaw from Coles/Woolworths
  • 1 red capsicum finely diced
  • 2 tbsp light tangy dressing or make your own using our 'sides' recipes

Instructions
 

  • Heat fry pan on medium heat.
  • Gently fry minced garlic and diced onion. Add beef mince and break up with wooden spoon.
  • Once meat has started to brown, add carrot. Mix through then add drained and rinsed black beans.
  • Add in the tomato paste, spices and then season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix well and then cover, allowing everything to cook through.
  • Once cooked, remove from pan and set aside. Keep the pan on low heat and give a gentle wipe down, to clean.
  • To assemble, lay your tortillas one at a time on our pan on very low heat. Add a big scoop or two of beef and bean mix, cover in grated cheese and then add a tortilla ‘lid’.
  • Cook for a few minutes, until cheese starts to melt, then flip the tortilla and repeat on second side.
  • Repeat process until all quesadillas are cooked.

Slaw

  • In a bowl, add your cabbage (or your pre-packed coleslaw mix) and red capsicum. Stir through the dressing until well combined.
  • Cut your quesadillas into quarters and and serve with slaw on the side.
