Preparation
1
Prep

  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce. 
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces. 
  • Cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 servings). Cut any remaining lime into wedges. 
  • Peel, then cut half the onion (whole onion for 4 servings) into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.

2
Make salsa and crema

  • To a medium bowl, add tomatoes, lime juice, half the peppers, half the cilantro, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) onions, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. 
  • To a small bowl, add sour cream, lime zest and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. 

3
Cook beef and veggies

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. 
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef. Break up beef into smaller pieces.
  • Add remaining onions and remaining peppers. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains in beef.** 
  • Carefully drain and discard excess fat. 
  • Add tomato sauce base, garlic, Mexican Seasoning and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water.
  • Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until beef and veggies are coated. 

4
Make quesadilla filling

  • Remove the pan from heat, then transfer beef mixture to a large bowl.
  • Add cheese. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
  • Carefully wipe the pan clean.

5
Make quesadillas

  • Arrange tortillas on a clean surface.
  • Spread beef filling evenly over one side of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half to enclose filling.
  • Reheat the same pan (from step 3) over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 3 quesadillas to the dry pan. Cook for 1-2 min per side, until golden.
  • Transfer quesadillas to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium and repeat with remaining quesadillas.

6
Finish and serve

  • Cut quesadillas into wedges, then divide between plates.
  • Serve tomato-bell pepper salsa and lime crema alongside.
  • Sprinkle quesadillas with remaining cilantro.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over top, if you like.

7

If you've opted to get beef, cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook chicken.** Drain and discard any excess fat, if you like.
