• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Grate the carrot. • Drain the sweetcorn.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. • SPICY! The spice blend is mild, but use less if you're sensitive to heat. Drain any oil from pan, then add Tex-Mex spice blend and tomato paste. Cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water, carrot and corn. Simmer until carrot is softened, 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
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 the beef filling among tortillas, spooning it onto one half of each tortilla, then top with shredded Cheddar cheese. • Fold empty half of each tortilla over to enclose the filling, then press down with a spatula. Brush (or spray) tortillas with olive oil, then season.
Little cooks: 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 the quesadillas.
TIP: Place a sheet of baking paper and a second oven tray on top of the quesadillas if they unfold during cooking.
• While the quesadillas are baking, roughly chop coriander leaves.
• Divide baked beef and corn quesadillas between plates. • Top with a dollop of light sour cream and tomato salsa. • Sprinkle with coriander to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Show them how it's done and top the quesadillas with the sides!
