Not quite a pie, not quite nachos, this dish might be hard to describe but it sure is easy to love! Enjoy the contrast between the crisp, golden tortillas around the edge, and the softened base that soaks up all the delicious Tex-Mex flavour. With a decadent cheesy top and a fresh salad on the side, this baked delight is a taste sensation!

Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Thinly slice the brown onion. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Pick and finely chop the coriander. Grate the carrot (unpeeled). Drain and rinse the red kidney beans.

Cook the onion & garlic
2

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and Tex-Mex spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Cook the beef mince
3

Add the beef mince to the pan and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes. Stir through the passata, the salt, carrot and red kidney beans and season to taste with pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until slightly thickened, 4-5 minutes.

Assemble the tortilla crust
4

Grease a deep medium baking dish. Arrange the mini flour tortillas in the baking dish, overlapping them slightly to cover the base and sides with minimal gaps. TIP: Cut the tortillas if necessary to make them fit. Spoon the beef mince mixture into the tortilla-lined dish.

Bake the tortilla bake
5

Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese and coriander over the beef mince mixture and bake until the cheese has melted and the tortillas are golden, 10-12 minutes. While the tortilla bake is in the oven, cut the cucumber into 1cm chunks. Shred the cos lettuce. In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and 2 tbs olive oil. Add the cucumber and cos lettuce to the bowl and toss to coat. TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves crisp.

Serve up
6

Divide the cheesy Mexican beef tortilla bake between plates. Top with a dollop of sour cream and serve with the salad.
