c) Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Warm the Tortillas
5

a) Pile the tortillas (3 per person) onto a plate. Heat them through in the microwave, 850W: 50 secs / 750W: 1 min, until warm and soft.

b) If you're using the oven, lay the tortillas onto a baking tray and place on the middle shelf to warm through, 1-2 mins.

Assemble and Serve
6
