• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. • Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. Grate carrot. Drain sweetcorn. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook corn kernels until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. • Add baby spinach and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are “popping” out.
• While corn is charring, in a small heatproof bowl, microwave garlic paste and half the butter in 10 second bursts, until melted and fragrant. • Spread mini flourtortillas over a lined oven tray. • Using a fork, poke a few holes in tortillas to stop them puffing up as they cook. Brush with garlic butter and sprinkle over Cheddar cheese. • Bake tortillas until cheese is golden and melted, 5 minutes.
TIP: If you want to serve as soft tacos instead, no need to bake the tortillas!
• Meanwhile, return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 2-3 minutes. • Add carrot and cook, tossing, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • SPICY! Add less of the spice blend if you are sensitive to heat! To pork, add Mexican fiesta spice blend and tomato paste and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water and remaining butter and simmer, until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
• Divide cheesy tortillas between plates. • Fill tortillas with beef, charred corn salsa and light sour cream. Enjoy!
