Smoky Chilli Beef Quesadillas

INGREDIENTS

4-6 Tortillas

250g Beef mince

2 Bell Peppers

2 Red Onion

2-4 cloves of Garlic

Pickled Jalapenos

2 tea spoons of Smoked Paprika

1 tea spoon of Chilli Powder

1 tea spoon of Cumin

1 Lime

Bunch of Coriander

300-500g Cheddar Cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

Pop a frying pan onto a medium to high heat and add a splash of olive oil.

Chuck in the Beef mince.

Brown off the Beef breaking it up as you go.

While the Beef is frying off, finely dice a bell Pepper and a red Onion so you have equal quantities of each.

Take a bulb of Garlic and remove the skin of 2-3 cloves and set aside ready.

Keep frying the Beef until it starts to get crispy then empty it out into a bowl and throw your Peppers and Onions into the pan.

Season the Onions and Peppers and fry off until soft and slightly browned, then crush in the Garlic cloves.

Fry for a further 3-5 minutes then chuck back in the Beef.

Add 1 tea spoon of Cumin and 1 tea spoon of Chilli powder followed by 2 tea spoons of smoked Paprika.

Finely dice some Coriander and chop a lime in half.

Take your pickled Jalapenos and add a splash of the pickling water to the pan and reduce.

Add as many Jalapenos as you can handle (I like allot as the heat is muted by the Cheese and Tortilla)

Add a good squeeze of the Lime juice and scatter in a nice handful of Coriander.

Then pop the smoky Beef filling into a bowl and clean out the pan.

Grate a generous handful of cheddar Cheese into a bowl.

Stick the pan back on a medium heat and add a small knob of Butter (this is optional, you can fry the Tortilla dry)

Lay the Tortilla into the pan

Add a few spoons of the Beef and a generous amount of the Cheese to one half of the Tortilla.

Fold over the Tortilla.

Fry the Tortilla until golden brown and crispy and the Cheese has melted.

Enjoy
