"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.

• Cook with a little water till done, leave it to be saucy!
• While its cooking shred up some lettuce, cucumbers, red onions, and carrots - mix all together in a bowl.
• Make a bit of a vinaigrette; white vinegar, pepper and mustard powder - pour over the salad.
• When the chicken has cooked layer the tortilla, add the meat down the middle, next the fried potato chips (make sure they're seasoned), top with the salad and than you're good to go!
