Ingredients

• 6 wheat tortillas
• 250 g minced pork
• 1 log of goat cheese
• 1 onion
• 250 g cherry tomatoes
• 50 g rocket leaves
• 1 garlic clove
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 220 °C. Peel the onion, slice it into thin strips, and sauté it with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt for a few minutes. Add the sugar and cook over low heat until the onion becomes nicely caramelised. Set aside.
• Using the same pan, cook the minced pork, breaking it apart with a spatula until it is golden brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from the heat.
• Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and grate the garlic. Sauté the garlic with a little oil, add the tomatoes, and cook until they begin to soften and release their juices. Add the pork back into the pan and mix well.
• Crumble the goat cheese. Place the tortillas on a baking tray and spread the pork filling over one half of each tortilla. Add the goat cheese and caramelised onion.
• Fold the tortillas, brush them with a little oil, and bake for 6 minutes or until golden and the cheese has melted.
• For the salad, mix the vinegar with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Add the rocket leaves and toss well. 

Serve the freshly baked quesadillas with the fresh salad and enjoy a practical, creamy meal full of flavour.
