Broth: The Little Bone Broth Co Grass Fed Beef Stock Pots
Ingredients
• 500g beef mince
• 1 Little Bone Broth Co Beef Stock Pot (50ml)
• 8 medium flour tortillas
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 1 red capsicum, finely diced
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1½ cups grated tasty cheese
• Black pepper, to taste
To serve (optional):
• Sour cream or plain yoghurt
• Avocado slices
• Tomato salsa
• Lime wedges
Method
1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
2. Add the onion and capsicum and cook for 2–3 minutes until beginning to soften.
3. Add the beef mince and cook for approximately 5–6 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and thoroughly cooked.
4. Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika and tomato paste.
5. Add the Beef Stock Pot and simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring regularly, until the liquid has reduced and the mince is richly coated with sauce. The filling should be moist but not watery.
6. Season with black pepper, remove from the heat and set aside.
7. Wipe out the frying pan and return it to medium heat.
8. Place one tortilla in the pan. Sprinkle a little grated cheese over one half, then spoon over a quarter of the beef mixture and add more cheese.
9. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy, with the cheese fully melted.
10. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, making four generously filled quesadillas. Keep the cooked ones warm while preparing the rest.
11. Cut into wedges and serve immediately with sour cream, avocado, tomato salsa or lime wedges.
A Little Bone Broth Tip
Our Grass Fed Beef Stock Pots are perfect for adding rich, savoury flavour to everyday mince dishes. Simmer one directly into the beef filling until reduced for delicious flavour without making your quesadillas soggy.
For younger family members, keep the seasoning mild and serve extra toppings separately so everyone can build their own plate.
Simple ingredients. Delicious meals. Real family cooking.
