Cooking Steps
- Preheat your oven (for the tortillas) to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 1cm chunks.
- Zest half a lime (per 2P). Chop into four wedges.
- Trim and thinly slice the scallion.
- Drain and rinse the kidney beans.
TIP: If you want to avoid turning on the oven you can dry-fry the tortillas in a pan instead.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat (without oil).
- Once the pan is hot, fry the beef mince until browned, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
- Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the bell pepper and Mexican spice mix to the pan and fry for 1 min.
- Mix in the passata, beans and stock.
- Bring to the boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, 7-8 mins. Season to taste with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Once simmered, stir through the chipotle paste.
TIP: Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too dry.
- Pop the tortillas into the oven to warm, 1-2 mins.
- Add the creme fraiche and lime zest to a small bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir to combine.
- Plate up the warmed tortillas.
- Top each with a generous helping of the Mexican spiced beef mince.
- Spoon over a dollop of zesty creme fraiche and a sprinkling of scallion.
- Serve with lime wedges alongside for squeezing over.
