Trying to find something other than Spaghetti Bolognese or Chilli con Carne to make with minced beef, I decided to try Fajitas on the kids tonight. They love wraps, which seemed to completely blinker them to the quite obvious (and disliked) red pepper in the dish.
Serves a greedy 4
8 white & wholemeal wraps
500g beef mince
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 large red onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
1 large clove of garlic
1 red pepper, quartered, seeded and cut into strips
1tsp ground coriander
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tin mixed beans, drained
To Serve
Lettuce leaves
Plain yoghurt or sour cream
Sliced red onion
Jalapeño chillis
Fresh Coriander
Heat the oil in a saute pan over a high heat. Fry the mince, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and pushing it around the pan. Ideally it will brown, but if you overload the pan like it did with damp freshly thawed mince liquid will soon end up coating the bottom the pan and steaming the meat. No worry.
When no raw meat can be seen push the beef to one side, turn the heat down to medium, and add the garlic, onion, and red pepper. Leave for a few minutes then stir into the meat. Add the spices and the beans and mix again. Heat gently, stirring so nothing burns, until the beans are hot.
Serve on a bed of lettuce on a wrap with toppings as desired.
