Spicy Mince Beef

This is a great tortilla filling and, because it is quick and easy to make, it is perfect for a weekday dinner. 

This recipe will make enough to fill four wraps.

Hot and Spicy Beef Wraps
Difficulty: Easy
Timing: less than 30 mins

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 500g mince beef
• 1 tbs tomato puree
• fresh chillies, chopped - as many as you need to get your desired heat. I usually use one 'hot' chilli. 

Extras

• kidney beans
• tortillas
• long grain rice
• hot sauce - Tabasco or Frank's works well
• sour cream or greek yoghurt
• lettuce
• tomatoes
• avocado

Method

1. Add the onion and oil to a large frying pan and fry on a medium heat until soft.
2. Put a small saucepan of water on for the rice
3. Add chilli and garlic to the onion and fry for about a minute. 
4. Stir in the tomato puree and fry for about a minute.
5. Put the rice in the boiling water and follow packet instructions for timing (I use 10min boil in a bag rice).
6. Put the kidney beans and their water into a saucepan and heat up.
7. Add the mince, turn up the heat, and fry until all the meat is cooked. 
8. Meanwhile, put the wraps in the oven to warm up and chop the tomato, avocado and salad for your wraps.

Construction - everyone has their own way of filling a tortilla, here's how I fill mine... 

• Tortilla
• Sour cream/greek yoghurt layer
• Rice layer
• Kidney bean layer
• Mince layer
• Hot sauce (lots!)
• Salad, tomato, avocado

Good luck and have fun!
