Quick Mexican Pork Quesadillas

with Charred Corn & Tomato Salsa

To honour Harmony Week, we had to whip up a Mexican dish that is a household HF favourite! These quesadillas are bursting with Tex-Mex-spiced pork and gooey melted Cheddar and are all wrapped up in a golden tortilla hug. As one of our most reached-for spice blends, Tex-Mex deserves all of the praise it gets.

Due to sourcing challenges some of the fresh ingredients you may receive may be slightly different to what's pictured. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps

• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Finely chop garlic. Drain sweetcorn. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add soffritto mix and cook, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat. Add garlic, Tex-Mex spice blend and tomato paste. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

• Arrange mini flourtortillas on a lined oven tray. Divide pork mixture among tortillas, spooning it onto one half of each tortilla. Top with shredded Cheddar cheese. • Fold the empty half of each tortilla over to enclose the filling, then press down gently with a spatula. Brush or spray with a drizzle of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. • Bake until cheese is melted and tortillas are golden, 10-12 minutes.

TIP: You can place a sheet of baking paper and a second oven tray on top of the quesadillas if they unfold during cooking.

• Meanwhile, wipe out frying pan and return to high heat. Cook sweetcorn until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.

TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are “popping” out.
