• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
• Grate carrot.
• Drain sweetcorn.
• Heat a large frying pan over high heat.
• Cook carrot, corn, beef mince and diced bacon(no need for oil!), breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 4-6 minutes.
• SPICY! The spice blend is mild, but use less if you're sensitive to heat. Add Tex-Mex spice blend and tomato paste. Cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add the water and stir to combine. Remove pan from heat and season with salt and pepper.
TIP: Add a dash more water to loosen the filling, if needed.
• Microwave mini flour tortillas on a plate in 10 second bursts until warmed through.
• Arrange tortillas over a lined oven tray. Divide beef filling among tortillas, spooning it onto one half of each tortilla, then top with Cheddar cheese.
• Fold empty half of each tortilla over to enclose filling, then press down with a spatula. Brush (or spray) tortillas with olive oil, then season.
Little cooks: Under adult supervision, lend a hand by assembling the quesadillas. Be careful, the filling is hot!
• Bake quesadillas until cheese is melted and tortillas are golden, 10-12 minutes.
• Spoon any overflowing filling and cheese back into quesadillas.
TIP: Place a sheet of baking paper and a second oven tray on top of the quesadillas if they unfold during cooking.
• Divide baked beef, bacon and corn quesadillas between plates.
• Top with a dollop of light sour cream and tomato salsa. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Show them how it's done and top the quesadillas with the sour cream and salsa. Enjoy!
