Ingredients
1kglean beef mince
1 tspolive oil
2carrots, grated
30gsalt-reduced taco seasoning
4 tbsptomato paste
1 cupwater
220gcorn kernels
220gblack beans mashed (optional)
300gbaby spinach
250glight sour cream
300gjar of mild, chunky tomato salsa
250gavocado
1 tsplemon juice
250ggrated, light cheese
16 x12-inch tortillas
Method
- In a pan, cook mince until brown, then add grated carrot, tomato paste and taco mix. Cook through for a further five minutes.
- Add the corn and mashed black beans. Add a cup of water and stir through.
- Simmer until thickened, then allow to cool (if the mix is too hot it will soak through the tortillas.)
- If using fresh avocado, mash with a squeeze of lime juice.
- Lay tortillas on a bench, spread a tablespoon of smashed avocado on each tortilla. Layer with baby spinach, ½ cup of the cooled taco mince, 1 tbsp of salsa, 1 tbsp of light sour cream and 2 tbsp of shredded cheese.
- Fold in sides of tortilla and roll into a long cylinder shape.
- Place tortillas on a lined baking tray. Sprinkle extra shredded cheese across the top of each tortilla and bake for 15-20 minutes in a 180C until crisp and cheese has melted.
- Turn rolls over halfway through cooking as it picks up any extra cheese on the tray and the roll ends up with crispy cheese on both sides.
- Serve in a greaseproof long (hot dog size) bag.
Recipe description
A yummy roll full of gooey goodness which appeals to all ages.
Variations
- Using twelve-inch tortillas makes 15-16 rolls. 10-inch tortillas would also work and quantities would go further.
- The rolls would also be suitable for freezing either before cooking or freezing taco mix into individual serves and prepping quantities as needed.
- If preferred, use chicken in replacement of mince. Just coat cooked chicken with taco mix and a little olive oil.
- A vegetarian option with black beans, corn, capsicum and onion mix would also work.
