Cooking Steps
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice green onions.
- Peel, then cut half the red onion (whole onion for 4 ppl) into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 ppl). Cut any remaining lime into wedges.
- Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Add tomatoes, green onions, half the peppers, half the lime juice and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a medium bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Add sour cream, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lime zest, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lime juice and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar to a small bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, then beef, red onions and remaining peppers.
- Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-6 min.**
- Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Add Mexican Seasoning to pan. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
- Remove from heat, then transfer beef filling to a large bowl.
- Add cheese, then season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Carefully rinse and wipe the pan clean with paper towels.
- Arrange tortillas on a clean surface.
- Spread beef filling evenly over one side of each tortilla. Fold in half to enclose filling.
- Reheat the same pan (from step 4) over medium-high.
- When hot, add 3 quesadillas to the dry pan.
- Cook until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium and repeat with remaining quesadillas.
- Cut quesadillas into wedges. Divide between plates.
- Serve lime crema and salsa alongside.
- Squeeze a lime wedge over top, if desired.
