This week's special ingredient is avocado - creamy, dreamy and packed with goodness! Give your avocado a gentle squeeze - ripe avocados yield slightly but aren’t mushy! If yours is firm, let it ripen on the bench (not the fridge!) until it’s just right.

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Grate carrot. Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot.

• Add tomato paste, Tex-Mex spice blend, vegetable stock and the water. • Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste. Little cooks: Help measure out the water!
• Place one mini flour tortilla on a lined oven tray. Top the tortilla with some beef & pork filling, spreading it into an even layer. Sprinkle over some Cheddar cheese. • Repeat this process until all the tortillas and filling are used up. • Bake until the top tortillas is golden, 10-12 minutes. TIP: If making for 4 people, build two tortilla towers. Little cooks: Take the lead and help assemble the tortilla tower!
