Instructions
- Heat a frying pan and fry the onion and garlic in a splash of oil until the onion is translucent.
- Add the mince and brown it well, then add the bell pepper and jalapeños.
- Sprinkle over the spices, season with salt and freshly ground pepper and heat the meat through for a couple of minutes.
- Pour in the salsa and the beans and stir well, then taste and adjust with salt and freshly ground pepper, and more jalapeños/chilli if you like.
- Spread a spoonful of salsa over each tortilla, top with plenty of the beef filling and sprinkle with grated cheddar. Use only half the cheese - the rest goes on top.
- Fold the sides in over the filling, then roll or fold the tortillas into parcels that fit the size of your ovenproof dish. Repeat until all 4 are made.
- Grease an ovenproof dish with a little oil and pack the tortilla parcels in snugly.
- Spray the tops with a little cooking spray, brush them with a little salsa and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese.
- Bake in a preheated conventional oven (top and bottom heat) at 200°C for 15 minutes – then turn the oven up to 220°C and bake for a further 5 minutes or so, until golden on top.
- Serve with pico de gallo and cold crème fraîche.
