Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil
- 250g 5% fat beef mince
- 1½-2 tbsp chipotle paste
- 3 tortilla wraps
- 75g Red Leicester cheese, grated
- ½ romaine lettuce, finely sliced
Step by step
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the beef mince, breaking up with a wooden spoon as you fry. Once browned all over and starting to crisp, stir through the chipotle paste, according to how spicy you’d like it. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Lay two of the tortilla wraps out on a board and cut the remaining wrap into quarters. Divide the spicy beef between the two whole tortillas, keeping it in the middle of the wraps, then top each with half of the cheese. Scatter over the sliced lettuce. Place one of the quarter tortillas over the filling of each wrap and press down, then fold the base wrap up and over the filling, pleating around the edge as you go to create a sort of cushion. Press down to keep in shape.
- Heat a frying pan over a medium heat, then fry one of the wraps, pleated-side down, for around 2 minutes, or until toasted and golden brown. Turn over and toast the underside for a further 2 minutes. Remove to a board and repeat with the other wrap. Cut in half to eat.
