Lamb Quesadilla

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Lamb

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Season the Mixture

    Add the ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Stir in cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the lamb is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    Place a tortilla in a separate skillet over medium heat. On one half of the tortilla, layer a portion of the lamb mixture, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro. Fold the tortilla over.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
