1 tbsp mayo
1 tsp chipotle paste
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp honey
a pinch of salt
1 tsp lime juice
250g beef mince
1 diced pepper

1 tsp oregano
1 tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp tomato paste
3 cloves garlic
150g kidney beans
low fat mozzarella
2 tortillas

Instructions

1
Get light sour cream and mayo in a bowl with chipotle paste, onion powder, garlic powder, honey, a pinch of salt and some lime juice. Mixy mixy and that's the chipotle lime sauce done.
2
Get your beef mince into a hot pan and break it up. We just want to cook this off until it's nicely browned.
3
Then add diced peppers and onion. Let this cook for about 5 minutes until the veg has softened.
4
Then add paprika, cumin, coriander, oregano, chilli flakes, salt and some black pepper. Let that cook off for 30 seconds.
5
Then squeeze in some tomato paste and show some garlic a great time. Now let this cook for about a minute.
6
Then add kidney beans, a splash of water and scrape all that flavour off the bottom of the pan. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes and it should thicken up.
7
Add low fat mozzarella to one half of your tortilla.
8
Then go on top with the beef, spread it out evenly, a bit more cheese on top.
9
Then fold it over.
10
Then get it into your pan and cook for a couple of minutes on each side until it's golden and crispy like this.
