Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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!

Notes

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.
