Ingredients

  • 400 g (14 oz) Beef mince
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil, plus extra for the tortillas
  • 1 Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Red capsicum, diced
  • 1½ tbsp Taco seasoning
  • 4 Large flour tortillas
  • 200 g (7 oz) Tasty cheese, grated
  • to serve Sour cream

You’ll need: Large frying pan

Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion and capsicum for 4 minutes.

  2. Add the mince and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it up, until browned with no pink left. Stir in the taco seasoning and 80ml (⅓ cup) water and simmer for 2 minutes. Tip into a bowl and wipe out the pan.

  3. Sprinkle cheese over half of each tortilla, add a quarter of the beef, then fold over.

  4. Cook in the pan over medium heat with a little oil, 2 minutes each side, until golden and the cheese has melted. Do 1–2 at a time. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream.

Storage

Fridge up to 2 days. Reheat in a hot pan or oven until piping hot all the way through.
