Preheat your oven to 200℃. Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel). Pop the wedged onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, halve the pepper and remove the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Trim, then coarsely grate the carrot (no need to peel). Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the beef mince and cook until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw mince.
Add the carrot and pepper to the pan along with the Mexican style spice mix and garlic. Cook for 2-3 mins then add the tomato passata, water (see ingredients for amount) and beef stock paste. Stir and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is thick, 10-12 mins, stirring occasionally.
While everything is cooking, drain and rinse the black beans in a sieve, then stir into the beef. Grate the cheese. Trim and thinly slice the spring onion. Cut the lime into wedges. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
When the wedges are ready, transfer to an ovenproof dish and put your grill on high. When the sauce has thickened, season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon it on top of the wedges. Sprinkle on the cheese and pop under the grill until golden and bubbly, 2-3 mins.
Finish with a sprinkle of spring onion and the lime wedges for squeezing over. Serve in the centre of your table and get stuck in. Enjoy!
