Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 12 oz. package broccoli slaw mix
  • 4 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 8 oz. ground beef sirloin
  • 2 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp. salsa, plus more for serving
  • 4 burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 1 1/3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

Directions

  1. Toss the broccoli slaw, radishes, and 2 tbsp. cilantro in a large bowl. Add the lime juice and 1 tbsp. olive oil; season with salt and pepper and toss. Set aside.

  2. Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, chili powder, and cumin and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned, 2-3 minutes. Stir in the salt. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the remaining 2 tbsp. cilantro; set aside. Wipe out the skillet.

  3. Spread the beef mixture on one half of each tortilla and top with the cheese; fold in half to cover the filling. Heat 1/2 tbsp. olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add 2 quesadilla and cook until the cheese melts and the tortillas are golden, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining 1/2 tbsp. olive oil and quesadillas.

  4. Cut the quesadillas into wedges. Serve with more salsa and the broccoli slaw.
