Cooking Steps
Grate the carrot (unpeeled). Peel and crush the garlic. Finely chop the cos lettuce. Dice the cucumber. Grate the Cheddar cheese. TIP: Drizzle the grater with a little olive oil before using to stop the cheese sticking to the grater. Finely chop the coriander leaves.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the beef mince and cook for 4 minutes, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned. Add the carrot and cook for 2 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the garlic and taco spice blend and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste and water (check the ingredients list for the amount) to the beef mince and crumble in the beef stock cube. Simmer for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Season with the salt (use suggested amount) and a pinch of pepper. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer until ready to serve.
While the mince is cooking, combine the sour cream and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix together and set aside.
Heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press or on a plate in the microwave for 10-20 seconds, or until warmed through.
Divide the tortillas between plates and top with the beef mince, Cheddar cheese, cos lettuce and cucumber. Add a dollop of seasoned sour cream and sprinkle over the coriander.
