Cheesy Beef Enchiladas
with tomato and scallion salsa
The name of this popular Mexican dish derives from two Aztec words meaning 'chilli' and 'flute'—references to its rolled-up nature and the sauce it's often eaten with. These particular enchiladas are stuffed full of spiced beef and cheese and paired with a zingy salsa.

Instructions
1
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Drain and rinse the kidney beans.
- Halve the lemon. Cut half into thick wedges and juice the rest.
- Chop the tomatoes into small pieces.
- Trim and grate the carrot (no need to peel). Trim and thinly slice the scallion.
- In a bowl mix the tomato with half the scallion then season with salt, pepper and 1 tsp lemon juice (double for 4p).
2
- Heat a pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
- Once the pan is hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins.
- Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Season with salt and pepper.
3
- Once mince is cooked, add half the grated carrot, kidney beans, cumin and ketchup to the pan.
- Add a splash of water and mix together.
- Cook for 1 min and remove from the heat.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
4
- Lay the tortillas on a board, spoon some of the mince down the centre of each, then roll them up to enclose the filling.
- Drizzle a little oil into the bottom of an ovenproof dish then lay in the wraps.
- Pack them snugly, side by side, with the folded edge underneath so they don't unroll.
- Top with the grated cheese.
- Bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 8-10 mins.
5
- Meanwhile, halve the avocado and scoop out the flesh.
- Use a fork to mash it. Add a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Season to taste salt and pepper then mix well to combine.
6
- Once cooked, remove the enchiladas from the oven.
- Divide between plates.
- Top with the smashed avocado.
- Serve with tomato salsa and remaining carrot and lemon wedges.
- Garnish with remaining scallions.
