Bring a Taste of Mexico to Your Kitchen – with a Khally Twist!

Why travel when you can bring the flavours of Mexico straight to your home? These Triple Cheese Honey Quesadillas take classic Mexican comfort food and give it that unmistakable Khally twang—bold, rich, and spiced to perfection, but with a smooth, sweet finish. The smoky depth of cheddar, the kick of seasoned beef, and the golden crisp of the tortilla all come together in perfect harmony, but it’s the drizzle of honey that sets this dish apart. That little touch of sweetness elevates the savoury goodness, making every bite irresistible, indulgent, and uniquely yours.

These Triple Cheese Honey Quesadillas are best enjoyed with a glass of my Holiday Sangria, bringing a refreshing, fruity balance to every bite. For a delicious side, try my Sautéed Tenderstem Broccoli with a Sweet Chilli Glaze, adding a touch of crunch and spice to your meal.

Want to switch up the dip? No problem! My Easy Homemade Hummus makes for a creamy, flavourful alternative that pairs beautifully with the cheesy, crispy goodness of the quesadillas. Mix, match, and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1kg Minced Beef

  • 2 Shallots (Diced)

Directions

  • Cook the Beef Filling
  • Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little butter.

  • Prepare the Sour Cream Honey Dip and Enjoy

  • Slice the quesadillas into wedges and sprinkle with more chopped chives and honey. Serve warm with the sour cream honey dip on the side.

Notes

  • You can use lean minced beef for a less fatty option while still keeping the filling rich and flavourful. If using regular minced beef, you can drain excess fat after browning for a lighter dish.
