Mince Tortilla
Tortilla’s are one of the easiest things to make when you’re wanting to save time.
Chuck in whatever you like in there. I love leftover stir fry and yoghurt as a filling, or chickpeas and basil pesto. Today I added mince, some fresh basil, herbs and tomato to mine and one is perfect for lunch.
I also enjoy the stoneground tortilla’s which I buy from the local Spar. Of course there are other brands but stoneground is healthier.
Ingredients
1 onion
500 g mince, soya or normal lean animal mince
cinnamon stick
1 star aniseed
1 tsp jeera seeds
1 tsp chili flakes or powder
green chili’s (optional)
salt and bbq spice to taste
2 tomatoes, grated
1 tbsp tomato paste
3 cloves garlic, grated or chopped finely
1 tsp ginger, grated
Method
In a pot, heat oil and fry jeera, star aniseed and the cinnamon for 1 minute.
Fry garlic and ginger for another minute and add spices.
Add mince and let that fry in the spices for a good 10 minutes. Add a tiny amount of water and lower the heat slightly to avoid it sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Add onions and let that all steam for another 2-3 minutes.
Add tomato paste and tomatoes. You can add peas to the pot at this stage or potatoes if you want.
Cook your mince on low heat for about 12-15 minutes and keep adding water to the pot to prevent sticking. A tiny amount.
Garnish with coriander and roll your tortilla with fresh tomato, basil, lettuce, rocket and dollops of plain yoghurt.
