So, the other day I slow braised a joint of beef (click here for a recipe) but with Spring finally starting to make an appearance I didn't want to use it for a heavy meal. After a quick scout around the kitchen I decided to make quesadillas. This is how I made them:
You will need: (for three people)
3 big handfuls of shredded beef (leftover roast/braised beef is a great option)
3 mushrooms thinly sliced (you can always pre-cook these if you like)
1/2 a red pepper thinly sliced
1/2 a small red onion thinly sliced
3 handfuls of grated mature cheddar
barbeque sauce (if you have your own recipe, go ahead, this time however mine came out of a bottle)
3 big tortilla wraps
Simply take each tortilla in turn and on half of it (draw an imaginary line down the middle as it's going to be folded) spread on a layer of barbeque sauce then sprinkle over a third of the the beef, sliced mushrooms, strips of red pepper and onion slices. Try to create a nice even layer, then top it off with a generous sprinkle of cheese. Fold over your wrap so it makes a nice semi circle. Complete the same process with the other wraps.
Get a frying pan on a medium heat and add a touch of oil. With each quesadilla in turn, toast for a few minutes each side, untill the wrap is nicely toasted and the cheese inside has gone all gooey.
Cut into wedges (I find a pizza wheel the easiest way) and serve with a big pile of salad and some nice bread/new potatoes/homemade chips if you're especially hungry!
These are a great alternative to pizza, and I presume with less bread/smaller portions they're much healthier!
Will add a photo next time I cook them (too busy chowing down too remember!)
Enjoy.
