Alan's Mexican Beef Tortilla Stack
with Tomato, Cucumber & Jalapeño Salsa
When Alan suggested we create a vegetarian tortilla stack, we got right onto it. Not only because he's a nice guy, but because he's our Director of Finance! So, here it is (just in time for pay day) – filled with beef, black beans and veggies coated in our Mexican Fiesta spice blend, plus layers of oozy melted cheese, and topped with a refreshing salsa and a dollop of sour cream.

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop brown onion. Grate carrot. Slice kernels off corn cob. • Drain and rinse black beans.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion and carrot, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add beef mince, breaking up with spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes.
• SPICY! You may find the spice blend hot. Add less if you're sensitive to heat. Add corn and black beans and cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add Mexican Fiesta spice blend and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in the water, then simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide mixture into equal portions (5 portions for 2 people / 10 portions for 4 people).
• Place one mini flourtortilla on an oven tray. Top with one portion of the bean mixture and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle with a little shredded Cheddar cheese (save 1/2 for the top!), then top with another tortilla. Add the next portion of bean mixture on top, then sprinkle with cheese and top with another tortilla. Repeat until all tortillas and bean mixture are used up. • Sprinkle remaining shredded Cheddar cheese over the top. Bake until cheese is melted and golden, 10-12 minutes.
TIP: If making for 4 people, build two stacks.
• While the stack is baking, roughly chop tomato, cucumber and pickled jalapeños (if using). • In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season, then add cucumber, tomato and jalapeños. Toss to coat.
• Using a bread knife, cut tortilla stack into wedges (like a cake!) and divide between plates. • Top with light sour cream. Serve with tomato, cucumber and jalapeño salsa. Enjoy!
