Cooking Instructions and Tips

Roast the Potatoes
1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Chop the potatoes into 1cm chunks (no need to peel). Pop the potato chunks 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, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

Prep the Veg
2

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim the baby gem, halve lengthways, then thinly slice widthways. Grate the cheese. Drain and rinse the black beans in a sieve. Halve the tomatoes, then pop them into a large bowl with a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Make the Refried Beans
3

Pop half the beans into a medium saucepan and roughly mash. Stir in the remaining beans, half the chipotle paste (add less if you don't like heat), half the chicken stock paste, half the garlic and the water for the beans (see ingredients for amount). Pop the saucepan on medium-high heat and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Start the Mince
4

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium frying pan on medium-high heat. When hot, add the beef mince and cook until browned, 4-5 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Stir in the tomato puree, remaining chipotle paste, chicken stock paste and garlic.

Combine and Stir
5

Stir in the water and sugar for the sauce (see ingredients for both amounts), then bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins. Meanwhile, pop the tortillas onto a baking tray and into the oven to warm through, 1-2 mins. Once ready, stir the roasted potatoes through the mince. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Finish and Serve
6

Just before serving, add half the baby gem to the bowl with the tomatoes. Toss to coat. To serve, top each tortilla with the remaining baby gem, spoonfuls of beef mix, a sprinkle of cheese and a dollop of soured cream. Serve the tacos (3 per person) with the refried beans and salad alongside. TIP: Tacos are best enjoyed eaten by hand - get stuck in! Enjoy!
