Ingredients

For the beef sauce:

2 tsp Sunflower
500 g Beef mince
1 Onion Peeled and chopped
1 tsp Mild chilli powder
1 tsp Sweet smoked paprika
2 tsp Ground cumin
1 tbsp Dark brown sugar
3 tbsp Tomato puree
1 Beef stock cube Undiluted and crumbled

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 onion, spices, and sugar and cook for a further 5 minutes until the onion has started to soften.
Add the tomato puree, stock cube, boiling water and salt and pepper. Give everything a good stir, turn the heat to low, put the lid on and cook for 15 minutes until thick. Check during this time and add a splash more water if everything is looking too dry.
When the meat is almost cooked, heat the tortillas and rice pouches according to the pack instructions.
Lay out the warm tortillas, share out the rice, meat mixture, salsa, black beans and cheese and roll up tightly.
