I love to make these quick quesadillas. You can have a number of dips with them, from guacamole to sour cream.Serve with some nachos, and you’re onto a winner. You can use taco seasoning from a packet here, or make your own.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

While the meat cooks, prepare a quick salsa; mix the chopped tomatoes, coriander and a squeeze of lime.

Step 2

Heat some olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, then add the mince, taco seasoning and tomatopurée. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is fully cooked through.

Step 3

Spread one half of each tortilla with the taco mince, cheese, and salsa. Fold over to close. Place the quesadillas in the air fryer basket and cook at 180°C for 5 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 4

Serve with your favourite dips – I love guacamole and sour cream.
