Instructions
Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Peel the potato and cut into bite-sized chunks. Finely chop the red onion. Finely chop the garlic. Grate the carrot. Drain the sweetcorn.
Cook the potato in the boiling water until easily pierced with a knife, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. Add the butter, milk and the salt and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but if you’re sensitive to heat, feel free to add less. While the potato is cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook the onion, corn and carrot, stirring, until softened, 5 minutes. Transfer the veggies to a bowl then add the beef mince to the pan. Cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Add the Tex-Mex spice blend and garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the passata, baby spinach leaves and a dash of water and stir until the spinach is wilted, 2 minutes. Return the veggies to the pan. Season to taste.
Preheat the grill to high. Transfer the Mexican beef mixture to a baking dish. Spoon over the mashed potato. Sprinkle with the shredded Cheddar cheese. Grill until the cheese is golden and melted, 5-10 minutes. TIP: Grills cook fast, so keep an eye on the pie!
While the pie is grilling, thinly slice the long red chilli (if using). Roughly chop the coriander.
Divide the Mexican beef pie between bowls and top with the sour cream. Sprinkle with the coriander and chilli to serve.
