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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.
