Prep salad

Add the garlic and onion and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then add 500 g plant-based *mince and cook according to packet directions. Add ¼ cup tomato paste, 2 tbsp Moroccan seasoning and 2 tbsp of water and stir to combine. Add half the chopped mint. Season with salt and pepper.

Warm tortillas
