Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Mexican
Servings: 4
- 2 tsp Sunflower oil
- 500 g Beef mince I use 5% fat
- 2 tbsp Fajita seasoning
- 2 tsp Garlic granules
- 2 tbsp Tomato puree
- 400 g Kidney beans 1x tin drained and rinsed
- 100 ml Water
- Sea salt
To serve:
- 8 Small tortillas wraps
- 100 ml Sour cream Or yoghurt
- 1/2 Iceberg lettuce Shredded
- 2 Salad tomatoes Finely chopped
- 60 g Cheese Grated
Heat the oil in a saute pan over a medium heat. Add the beef and brown all over for about 5 minutes, breaking up with a spoon.
Add the fajita seasoning, garlic granules, tomato puree, kidney beans, water and a sprinkle of sea salt. Cook for a further 5-10 minutes until the beans are hot and the meat is well cooked.
Meanwhile, heat the tortillas according to the pack instructions (microwave, oven, gas flame or toaster all work!)
Pile in the fillings (or let everyone help themselves) and serve!
Toasting the wraps: You can either put them in the oven, wrapped in foil, for 5 minutes. Or what I prefer to do for a little more flavour is char them over an open gas flame, using tongs. Make sure you’re VERY careful and don’t overdo it!
Cheese: I use grated cheddar but choose your favourite.
Hard shell tacos: Go for these if you prefer.
