Peel and crush the garlic. Finely slice the red onion (use suggested amount). Grate the carrot (unpeeled). Tip: Keep the skin on the carrot to retain its nutrients! Finely shred the cos lettuce. Dice the cucumber. Finely chop the long red chilli (if using). Tip: Some like it hot but if you or your children don't, just hold back or omit the chilli.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, rice wine vinegar and garlic. Set aside.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Return the same large pan to a medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the red onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the beef mince and 1 sachet of the Five Spice Sesame blend and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, for 4-5 minutes, or until browned. Tip: Taste the beef once it's cooked - Feel free to add the remaining sachet of Five Spice!
Add the garlic-soy sauce to the pan with the beef and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, or until the beef is caramelised and the sauce is absorbed.
Heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press or on a plate in the microwave for 10 second bursts, or until warmed through.
Divide the mini tortillas between plates and top with the cos lettuce, cucumber, carrot and Asian-style beef. Dollop with garlic aioli and sprinkle over the toasted sesame seeds. Top the adults’ portions with the long red chilli (if using).
