• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop garlic and tomato. Grate the carrot. Drain the sweetcorn.
Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot.
• Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook sweetcorn until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are “popping” out.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes. • Add carrot and cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! Add garlic, Tex-Mex spice blend and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and the water and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
• Arrange mini flourtortillas over a lined oven tray. Divide the pork mixture between the tortillas, spooning it onto one half of each tortilla, then top with shredded Cheddar cheese. • Fold empty half of each tortilla over to enclose the filling and press down gently with a spatula. Brush (or spray) the tortillas with a drizzle of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. • Bake quesadillas until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden, 10-12 minutes. Spoon any overflowing filling back into the quesadillas.
TIP: You can place a sheet of baking paper and a second oven tray on top of the quesadillas if they unfold during cooking. Little cooks: Help fill and fold the quesadillas!
• While the quesadillas are baking, add tomato and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil to the charred corn. • Season and toss to combine.
• Divide smokey Tex-Mex pork quesadillas between plates. • Serve with corn salsa and sour cream. Enjoy!
TIP: Cut the quesadillas into wedges if you prefer!
