Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mince. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up mince, for 6 to 8 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Stir in seasoning, salsa, onion and beans.

Meanwhile, mash avocado and lemon juice together in a bowl. Set aside.

Place 1 tortilla on a flat surface. Spread with one quarter mince mixture. Top with 1/4 cup cheese. Top with 1 tortilla. Repeat with remaining tortillas, mince mixture and cheese.

Place a plate over frying pan and turn quesadilla over. Slide quesadilla, uncooked side down, into pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining tortillas, mince mixture and cheese.

Cut quesadillas into wedges. Serve with avocado smash and lemon wedges.
