Ingredients

  • 1 Avocado
  • 1 Tomato
  • 1 Spring onion
  • 1 bunch Coriander optional
  • 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp Honey
  • 20 grams Sweet chilli sauce
  • 40 grams Mayonnaise
  • 8 Tortillas mini
  • 400 grams Black beans
  • 2 tsp Olive oil
  • 450 grams Lamb mince
  • 1 tbsp Mexican seasoning
  • 400 grams Crushed tomatoes

Instructions

PREP INGREDIENTS

  1. Check your avocado is ripe before starting this recipe. Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan-forced, for the tortillas (or you can use a microwave if you prefer). Peel and roughly chop the avocado. Finely chop the tomato. Thinly slice the spring onion. Pick the coriander leaves and finely chop the stems.

MAKE SALSA & MAYO

  1. Combine apple cider vinegar and honey in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the avocado, tomato and half the spring onion and gently toss to combine. Combine the sweet chilli and mayonnaise in a bowl.

WARM TORTILLAS

  1. Enclose the tortillas in foil. Put in the oven for 8 mins, or until softened and warmed through. (To microwave, just before serving, put the tortillas on a plate, slightly overlapping, and microwave for 30 secs or until warmed through.)

COOK LAMB

  1. Drain and rinse the black beans. Heat oil in a medium frypan over high heat. Cook the lamb mince, breaking up the lumps with a spoon, for 3-4 mins, until browned. Reduce the heat to medium, add the Mexican seasoning, coriander stems, black beans and crushed tomatoes and cook, stirring, for 4-5 mins until the liquid is evaporated.

TO SERVE

  1. Divide the tortillas between plates and fill with the Mexican lamb, avocado salsa, remaining spring onion and remaining coriander. Spoon over the sweet chilli mayo to serve.
