Preparation
1
Fry the Beef and Chorizo

a) Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.

b) Heat a medium frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).

c) Once hot, add the chorizo and beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat.

d) Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

2
Build the Flavour

a) While the beef cooks, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Grate the cheese.

b) Once the beef is browned, add the garlic, Central American style spice mix and tomato puree. Stir-fry for 1 min. 

c) Stir in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and cook until thickened, 2-3 mins.

d) Once thickened, remove from the heat and stir in the BBQ sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

3
Make your Quesadillas

a) Lay the tortillas (2 per person) onto a lightly oiled baking tray and spoon the beef filling onto one half of each one.

b) Top with the cheese, then fold the other side over to make a semi-circle. Press down to keep together.

c) Rub a little oil over the top of each one.

d) Bake your quesadillas on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 5-7 mins.

4
Mix the Salad Dressing

a) While the quesadillas bake, pop the cider vinegar and olive oil and sugar for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts) into a large bowl.

b) Season with salt and pepper, then mix together.

5
Bring on the Baby Gem

a) Trim the baby gem, separate the leaves, then tear into bite-sized pieces.

b) Just before serving, add the baby gem to the bowl of dressing and toss to coat.

6
Serve

a) When ready, share the BBQ beef quesadillas between your plates.

b) Serve with the salad alongside.

Enjoy!
