Instructions

Step 1
Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over high heat
Step 2
Fry onion for 1 minute or until just softened. Add the beef and cook for 4 minutes or until just browned.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the peppers ,tomato paste, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and season with salt and pepper. Fry for 10 minutes or until the peppers are softened and set aside.
Step 4
In another large non-stick frying pan (or clean the one you used for the beef) heat the pan over medium heat without adding any oil.
Step 5
Place one tortilla at a time into the pan, add a quarter of the meat mixture to one half of the tortilla (leave one side of the tortilla empty so you can fold it over). Add 50 g cheddar per tortilla on top of the beef side and place a lid on top of the frying pan. Cook for three minutes (or until the cheese just begins to melt).
Step 6
Fold the empty side of the tortilla over the top of the beef/cheese side and squish it together. Some meat may fall out but use a spoon and stuff it back into the tortilla. Flip carefully and cook for a further two minutes. You want the base of the tortilla bread to be golden brown.
Step 7
Take the tortilla out of the pan, set aside and repeat for the final three. Once they're cooked you can cut them into wedges (three wedges per quesadilla) or enjoy them whole.
Step 8
Prepare the salsa by adding the tomatoes, red onion, jalapenos, lime and coriander to a small bowl and mix well.
Step 9
Save the tortilla with a side salad, tomato salsa, and smashed avocado.
