Ingredients
- 375g lean beef mince
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- 1 red pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 yellow pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
- 100g chorizo sausage, roughly cubed
- Large pinch chilli flakes
- 2-3 tablespoons freshly chopped coriander or flat leaf parsley
- 1 x 326g pack flour tortillas
- 4 tablespoons tomato chutney
- 1 x 150g tub or bag buffalo mozzarella cheese, roughly torn
Method
- Heat half the oil in a large shallow, non-stick frying pan and cook the garlic, onions and peppers for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the mince and chorizo and cook for 5-10 minutes until brown. Stir in the chilli flakes and season. Add the coriander or parsley and cool slightly.
- Place 4 tortillas on a chopping board and spread evenly with the chutney, beef and cheese. Top each with another tortilla, press down and set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil in a clean, non-stick frying pan on a moderate heat and fry the tortillas, one at a time for 2-3 minutes. Invert onto a plate, then slide back into the pan and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding extra oil to the pan if required.
- Slice into quarters and serve immediately.
