Sloppy Joe Beef Quesadillas recipe - this suitable for causel dinner

These Sloppy Joe Beef Quesadillas may be messy but they are delicious.
Ingredients
For the meat filling:
1.1kgs ground beef sirloin (5% fat)
60g hot sauce (I use green Tabasco; use your favorite mild hot sauce)
110g chopped green chiles
1 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp Mexican oregano
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp fresh black pepper

For the quesadillas:
10-12 small corn or flour tortillas
170g grated Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
Store-bought or homemade tomatillo salsa

Directions
In a slow cooker, add all ingredients for the meat filling, plus 1/4 cup water. Stir to combine.

Cook on HIGH for 1 hour. Uncover, and using a potato masher or pastry cutter, break up the meat and stir again to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Cover and cook for 1 more hour, uncover the pot and mash again.

Then, cook uncovered, on HIGH, for an additional 30-45 minutes, until almost all of the liquid has evaporated.

At this point, you can remove the beef from the slow cooker, cool completely, pack into airtight containers, and freeze. Or, continue on to make Sloppy Joe beef quesadillas.

To make the quesadillas, heat a griddle or large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Set out the tortillas on the countertop. Sprinkle a small bit of cheese on one half of each tortilla. Top with a few spoonfuls of beef, and more cheese. (If you are adding avocado or cilantro, tuck it in there now.)

Fold each tortilla in half to make a half-moon shape. Cook on the griddle, a few minutes on each side, pressing down lightly with a spatula if needed until the cheese begins to melt. When the tortillas are lightly browned, and the cheese inside has melted, the quesadillas are done.

Serve hot, with tomatillo salsa on top, plus any additional toppings you like. The quesadillas will be messy, like real Sloppy Joes, so be sure to serve with forks.

Comments
Optional add-ins: sliced avocado, chopped cilantro
Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole

sound so good yum

Slowly combine the dry mix into the wet until it just comes together, do not over mix!

Using a spoon fold in the m&ms or dried fruit

Using a small cookie scoop place the cookies onto a lined baking sheet. Bake for approx 12-14 minutes at 190C degrees, until lightly golden. These cookies will not change shape much because there is so little fat in there. So scoop out and press down lightly if you want them to flatten a bit.
