  1. MINCE MIX

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion and the corn until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Caramelise until browned, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final minute, add the NOMU spice blend and seasoning. Remove from the heat and cover.

  2. START THE ASSEMBLY LINE

    Smear each tortilla with the sour cream. Top 1 of the tortillas with the corn & mince mixture, the chopped jalapeños (to taste), and the grated cheese. Sandwich the loaded tortilla with the remaining tortilla.

  3. TOASTY TRIANGLES

    Place the quesadilla in a clean pan or grill pan over medium heat. Fry until golden, 1-2 minutes. Cover the pan with a chopping board or a plate. Flip the pan quickly so the quesadilla flips onto the board or plate. Slide the quesadilla back into the pan so the untoasted side is on the base of the pan. Toast until the cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and cut into triangles.

  4. GUAC GUAC GO

    Halve the avocado and set aside one of the halves for another meal. Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork. Mix through the diced tomato, the lime juice, and seasoning.

  5. TIME TO DINE!

    Arrange the cheesy quesadilla triangles on a plate and garnish with any remaining jalapeño. Serve with the guacamole on the side for dunking. Enjoy!
