Makes 6 quesadillas - Preparation Time: 15 Minutes
Cooking Time: 12 Minutes

Ingredients:

  • 30 ml olive oil
  • 1 bunch spring onions, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped ( i did 2)

  2. Place the tortillas on a work surface and spread a little of the mince mixture onto one half of each, top with the tomatoes( I omitted this), and sprinkle with cheese. Fold the tortillas into a half-moon shape.
  3. Heat the remaining oil ( I used butter) & fry the folded tortillas, one at a time, until golden brown on both sides.  Use two spatulas to help you turn them over. Serve with Guacamole & Sour cream

Definately a YAH all round.  Perfect to make as a light lunch for guests.
