Instructions

Get Prepped
1

a) Preheat your oven to 200°C. Grate the cheese. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Chop the tomatoes into 1cm pieces.
b) Trim the root from the baby gem lettuce, halve lengthways and thinly slice. Zest and halve the lime.
c) Drain and rinse the kidney beans in a colander (see ingredients for amount). Pop half of the kidney beans into a bowl and mash with a fork until broken up.

Brown the Mince
2

a) Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
b) When the pan is hot, add the beef mince and cook until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a wooden spoon to break it up as it cooks. Drain the excess fat out. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw mince.

Add the Flavour
3

a) Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, tomato puree and Cajun spice to the beef (add less spice if you don't like heat).
b) Stir to combine, then cook until fragrant, 1-2 mins.

Add the Beans
4

a) Pour in the water for the beef (see ingredients for amount) and add the beef stock paste.
b) Add the kidney beans (whole and mashed). Stir until everything is evenly mixed and the sauce thickens.
c) Season with salt and pepper. TIP: Add a splash more water if dry. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Make the Salad
5

a) Meanwhile, put the olive oil for the dressing and sugar into a medium bowl (see ingredients for both amounts).
b) Season with salt and pepper and squeeze in the lime juice. Mix together until combined. Add the lettuce and tomato to the dressing and toss to combine.
c) Meanwhile, pop the tortillas on the top shelf of your oven to warm through for 2-3 mins.

Finish and Serve
6
