topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 4 wheat tortillas
  • 250 g lean ground beef
  • 350 g of mixed vegetables: broccoli, carrots, and onions, cut into strips
  • 4 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 3 tbsp. l. olive oil
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tsp chili seasoning
  • 1.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp. salsa sauce, and more for serving
  • 1 1/3 cups shredded Mexican cheese mix (about 170 g)

Preparation:

  1. Combine the cabbage, radishes, and 2 tablespoons of cilantro in a large bowl. Add the lime juice and 1 tablespoon of olive oil; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

    Add the ground beef, chili powder, and cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the ground beef into the salsa. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro; set aside.

    Wipe out the frying pan.
  3. Spread the beef mixture among the tortilla halves and sprinkle with cheese; fold in half to cover the filling.

    Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 quesadillas and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and the quesadillas.

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges. Serve with plenty of salsa and coleslaw.
