Cheesy Taco Pull Apart

A big thing I’m trying to do recently is recreating classic meals but with some twists and this cheesy taco pull apart is just that! It’s all the flavours you know but served in a creative way to make things fun! I had one of my best friends coming over for dinner and she absolutely loves Mexican food so when I stumbled upon this recipe on Taste, I couldn’t help but try it out! And as always, I didn’t follow the original instructions to a dot and made some tweaks to suit the ingredients I had handy.

Ingredients:

500g lamb mince (You can use beef/chicken too)

Old El Paso Jumbo Tortillas

Old El Paso Fajita Spice Mix 40g

2 tbsp crushed garlic

2 tbsp ginger paste

1 tbsp chilli flakes (optional)

1 tbsp oil

400g can black beans

Grated cheese (optional)

To serve:

Guacamole

Sour cream

Fresh coriander

Sliced red chillies (optional)

Method:

Heat up oil in a saucepan on medium heat and add lamb mince. Sauté for a few minutes and add garlic, ginger and chilli flakes. Mix well and add fajita spice mix. Sauté until liquid has reduced slightly and add black beans.

Once all liquid has evaporated and mince is cooked through, remove from heat and set aside. Preheat oven to 180 C fan forced and grease a round baking dish with oil spray.

Place one tortilla on a clean surface and spoon ½ cup of mince filling and sprinkle with grated cheese. Roll up tightly into a wrap and cut into four smaller rolls. Place facing upwards on the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas until baking dish is completely filled with rolls. Sprinkle with remainder of cheese and bake until cheese has melted and tortillas turn golden brown.

Remove from oven and top with guacamole, sour cream, freshly chopped coriander and chilli. Serve immediately and enjoy!
