Cooking Steps

GET PREPPED
1

Shred the cos lettuce. Roughly chop the tomato. Cut the lemon into wedges. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Drain the sweetcorn.

MAKE THE MEATBALLS
2

In a medium bowl, add the beef mince, garlic, eggs, fine breadcrumbs, Tex-Mex spice blend and the salt. Mix to combine well, then using damp hands, take heaped spoonfuls of the mixture and form into meatballs. You should get 24 meatballs in total.

CHAR THE CORN
3

Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the drained sweetcorn and cook, tossing, until golden and lightly charred, 5 minutes. TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are "popping" out of the pan. Transfer to a medium bowl.

COOK THE MEATBALLS
4

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil and add the meatballs. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium if the meatballs are browning too quickly. TIP: If your pan is getting crowded, cook in batches for best results! Add the enchilada sauce and the water to the pan, stir to combine and cook until heated through, 1 minute.

MAKE THE CORN SALSA
5

While the meatballs are cooking, to the bowl with the corn, add the tomato and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press, or on a plate in the microwave for 10 second bursts, until warmed through.

6

Bring everything to the table. Fill the tortillas with the shredded cos lettuce, meatballs, shredded Cheddar cheese, sour cream and the corn salsa. Serve with the remaining lemon wedges. TIP: Cut the meatballs in half for the kids if you like.
