"You can take the girl out of Botswana, 
but you can't take the beef out of her kitchen."  🇧🇼 

 

I’ve had these beef quesadillas on my “to-share” list for ages, and I’m finally getting around to it! I usually make chicken quesadillas, which are a family favourite, but as a proud Motswana with a soft spot for really good beef, it was only a matter of time before this recipe. Botswana beef is just on another level, and it truly shines in this simple yet flavour-packed dish, I love it and I'm really going to miss it...Note to self, share more beef recipes!

 

These beef quesadillas are everything I love in a recipe, quick, comforting, and perfect for busy days. The prep comes together in under 30 minutes and are great for meal prep too. The beef filling does take some time to cook, but it's totally worth it. The filling is also great for easy wraps, tacos, or even to throw over rice during the week. It’s a kitchen lifesaver when you want something hearty but low-effort.

 

The ingredients are simple, and you might already have most of them in your pantry. The Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce add a lovely smokiness to the beef, but if you can’t find them, don’t stress! You can swap in a little smoked paprika, or simply leave them out. I’ve made it without before, and it’s still delicious (just slightly less smoky).

 

To finish things off, I serve my quesadillas with a fresh Coriander Lime Chutney Dip, a zesty, cooling balance to the warm, spiced beef. You can grab that recipe by clicking here. Trust me, once you try this combo, you’ll wonder why you ever settled for plain sour cream.

 

Don't be fooled by the images, this recipe yields 7 - 8 Beef Quesadillas. I just cut up 2 and used them for the images and videos. These can also be toasted, tightly packaged and frozen for a quick meal later.

I cannot begin to tell you how delicious this turned out! It's one of those meals that's so light yet filling at the same time. This will become one of those easy-to-whip up recipes, perfect for days when you have no time, you don't want to be in the kitchen too long, or you don't know what to make. 

A couple of ago the Crunchwrap Supreme went viral, and I've shared my version of it here before. If you'd like to check out my recipe, click here, and for the TikTok video, click here.  

There's not really any major "cooking" involved, besides grilling up the patties and toasting your crunch wrap in the end, and/or if you want the extra step of making caramelised onions (which I did). 

That is why I said this entire recipe is super quick; it's just about prepping and getting everything ready to throw together, which you can do as you're grilling the patties and making the caramelised onions.
