Dinner

15 min prep

20 min cook

8 serves

2.2 serves of veg

½ tsp olive oil
500g lean beef mince
15g salt-reduced taco seasoning
2 tbsp tomato paste
½ cup water
1 carrot, grated
¾ cup corn kernels
½ cup black beans, mashed
150g baby spinach
125g light sour cream
150g of mild, chunky tomato salsa
1 avocado
1 tsp lemon juice
125g grated, reduced-fat cheese
8 x medium-sized salt reduced tortillas

Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a pan, cook mince until brown, then add tomato paste and taco mix. Cook through for a further 5 minutes.
Add the corn and mashed black beans. Warm through then allow to cool (if the mix is too hot it will soak through the tortillas).
If using fresh avocado, mash with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Lay tortillas on a bench, spread a tablespoon of smashed avocado on each tortilla. Layer with baby spinach, ½ cup of the cooled taco mince, 1 tbsp of salsa, 1 tbsp of light sour cream and 2 tbsp of shredded cheese.
Fold in sides of tortilla and roll into a long cylinder shape.
Place tortillas on a lined baking tray. Sprinkle extra shredded cheese across the top of each tortilla and bake for 15-20 minutes in a 180°C oven until crisp and cheese has melted.
Turn rolls over halfway through cooking as it picks up any extra cheese on the tray and the roll ends up with crispy cheese on both sides.

Serving suggestions:

Substitute the tortilla sizes for whatever you have on hand; 12-inch tortillas make 15-16 rolls, while 10-inch tortillas would make more servings.
If preferred, use chicken in place of mince. Simply coat cooked chicken with taco mix and a little olive oil.
For a vegetarian option, swap the mince for red kidney beans, black beans, corn, carrot, capsicum, and onion.

Storage tips: Taco mix can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in fridge for 3 days.

These rolls are suitable for freezing either before cooking, or freezing taco mix into individual serves and prepping quantities as needed.

Kinds in the kitchen: Depending on your child’s age and skill, they can help mash the avocado and spread it onto the wraps. They can also help add the baby spinach, spoon the salsa or sprinkle the cheese onto each roll as you compile it.
