Beef Quesadillas
Fast and easy, and meaty as sin, these beef quesadillas make a lovely weekend breakfast or snack. They can even be assembled ahead of time.
Ingredients
- 400 grams ground beef with a generous amount of fat
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon finely sliced chilies
- ¼ teaspoon ground oregano
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- salt
- pepper
- 8 flour tortillas
- cheese slices whatever variety you like and as much as you like
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a very hot frying pan. If your beef has enough fat, you won’t need cooking oil at all.
- When the meat is nicely browned, turn down the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, garlic, chilies, oregano and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for a minute or two until the onion bits caramelize a bit.
- Prepare a skillet or a clean frying pan for toasting the quesadillas.
- Spoon the cooked ground beef on one half of each tortilla. Top with cheese. Fold to close.
- Toast the filled tortillas on both sides until spotted and crisp.
- Cut each beef quesadilla in half (optional, really) and serve.
Notes
To store, cool the beef completely before assembling the quesadillas. Stack the filled tortillas, wrap in cling film and keep in the fridge for up to two days. Unwrap and grill until the cheese is gooey and the meat is heated through.
