Ingredients
15 ml (1 tbsp) of canola oil
450 g (1 lb) of Quebec Ground Veal
1 small chopped onion
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped garlic
15 ml (1 tbsp) chili powder
125 ml (1/2 cup) of corn kernels
125 ml (1/2 tasse) of parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
250 ml (1 cup) of grated cheddar cheese
8 medium tortillas
Steps
Preheat the barbecue to medium heat (approximately 180°C – 350°F).
In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Cook the ground veal, onion, bell pepper, and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes, breaking up the meat.
Stir in the chili powder and continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes, until the meat has lost its pink color.
4. Add the corn kernels and salsa. Season with salt and pepper and stir. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 2 minutes over low heat. Remove from heat.
Spread the veal mixture and cheddar cheese over half of each tortilla. Fold the tortillas over the filling.
Place the quesadillas on the hot, oiled grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from the grill.
Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with your choice of accompaniments.
