Instructions
a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
b) Cut each tortilla into quarters, then pop into a large bowl. Add the olive oil (see pantry for amount), season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
c) Lay 3 quarters of a tortilla into each section of a muffin tin, ensuring they are pressed against the edges and base and that there are no gaps.
d) Pop onto the middle shelf of your oven until lightly browned and crispy, 6-8 mins.
a) Meanwhile, heat a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil). Once 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. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
b) When the mince has browned, drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper.
c) Stir in the tomato puree, beef stock, Central American style spice mix (use less if you prefer things milder), water and sugar (see pantry for both amounts), then simmer to thicken, 2-3 mins.
a) While the beef simmers, grate the cheese and drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.
b) Once the beef is cooked, stir in the sweetcorn.
c) Divide the beef mince between your tortilla cups and top with the cheese.
d) Pop onto the top shelf of your oven until the cheese is golden and bubbling, 6-8 mins. Share between 2 serving plates to finish.
Enjoy!
