METHOD

1.    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil.

2.    Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat if necessary.

3.     Add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened (about 3-4 minutes).

4.     Stir in the chilli powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to blend into the meat mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.

5.    Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. On half of each tortilla, spread a portion of the shredded cheese.

6.     Spoon an even amount of the beef mixture over the cheese.

7.     Top with more cheese, then fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to form a half-moon shape.

8.     Wipe the skillet clean and heat it over medium heat. Add a small amount of vegetable oil.

9.     Place a quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.

10.      Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or chopped fresh coriander.
