Hello everyone,
This is my second time entering a contest on Steemit and I was so excited to run across this challenge since I LOVE Mexican food!! That gave me a great excuse to eat today a new Mexican dish I made for this challenge, so thank you @woman-onthe-wing for that great opportunity :)
It tasted great; I hope it meets the challenge here as I’ve already seen entries of some amazing Mexican dishes!
My entry for today’s Culinary challenge is:
-Cheezy Beef Mexican Quesadillas-Mexican quesadillas, with spicy ground beef, melted cheese and flavored with picante sauce.
Ingredients:
For the beef mixture:
1 tablespoon olive oil
500 grams regular minced beef
2 teaspoons ground paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Method :
Heat oil in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and spices. Cook and mix with wooden spoon for 5 minutes or until browned. Drain the fat and set aside.
Ingredients:
For the Quesadillas:
3 Large flour tortillas
3 Small flour tortillas
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 tomato, diced
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
400 grams can red kidney beans (I used white..)
Beef mixture
Tomato salsa
Sour cream
Method:
In a small saucepan heat the beans over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until the beans sauce reduces and thickens slightly:
Cut and prepare all ingredients in bowls:
On a large tortilla add a generous scoop of ground beef mixture in the center, leaving space around the edges for folding. Top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, beans and salsa.
Spread sour-cream on the small tortilla and place in the center with sour-cream facing down:
Tightly fold the edges of the large tortilla towards the center:
Pace in a medium non-stick pan (or toaster) and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bases are golden on both sides:
