Method

Preheat the oven to gas mark 7 / 220'C.
Heat a large shallow, non-stick frying pan and dry fry the mince with the spices and seasoning for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir through the spinach and parsley.
Place 4 tortillas on a chopping board and spread evenly with the cheese, then the lamb mixture. Sandwich together with the remaining tortillas, transfer to a non-stick baking sheet and brush with oil.
Cook in the oven for 9-10 minutes until the tortillas are crispy and the lamb is cooked through.
Meanwhile, prepare the salsa; in a small bowl mix all the ingredients together and set aside.
Slice each quesadilla in half and serve immediately with the apply and mint salsa and a green salad.
