Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- 2 minced cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp minced jalapeño peppers, (or 1/4 tsp/1ml hot pepper sauce)
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander or fresh parsley
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1-1/4 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Preparation
In large nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat, breaking up with spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain off fat. Add onion, carrot, garlic, jalapeño chili powder and salt ; cook over medium heat, stirring often, until onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and coriander.
Spread heaping 1/2 cup (125 mL) beef mixture on half of each tortilla; sprinkle with heaping 2 tbsp (25 mL) cheese. Fold uncovered half over filling. Bake on 2 rimmed baking sheets in top and bottom thirds of 400°F (200°C) oven, turning once and switching and rotating pans halfway through, until crisp, 10 minutes. Cut into wedges.
Additional information :
Tip: Quesadillas also make quick snacks or hors d'oeuvres when cut into small wedges. Serve with salsa and sour cream for dipping.
