Cooking Steps

• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. • Thinly slice capsicum and brown onion. Slice kernels off corn cob. Roughly chop pickled jalapenos (if using). • Slice mini flour tortillas into quarters. • Finely chop mild chorizo.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oilover high heat. • Cook corn kernels and chorizo until lightly browned, 4-6 minutes. • Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook capsicum and onion until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add beef mince and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes.

• SPICY! You may find the spice blend hot. Add less if sensitive to heat. • Drain oil from pan, then add Mexican Fiesta spice blend and tomato paste (see ingredients) and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water, stirring to combine. • Reduce heat to low, then sprinkle over Cheddar cheese. Cover tightly with foil or a lid, then cook until cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes.

• Meanwhile, spread tortilla chips over the lined oven tray (don’t worry if they overlap). • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Bake until lightly golden and crisp, 8-10 minutes.

• Divide tortilla chips between plates. Spoon over cheesy beef topping and chorizo mixture. • Top with light sour cream, tomato salsa and jalapeños. Tear over coriander to serve. Enjoy!
