Ingredients for 1 serving
| 218 g | extra lean beef mince | 2 | flour tortillas, regular size | 26 g | peppers, sliced | 23 g | onions, sliced | 1 | garlic clove, chopped or crushed | 1 tsp | smoked paprika | 1 tsp | ground cumin | 1 | chilli, sliced, seeds or no seeds up to you! | 95 g | chopped tomatoes, blended until smooth | 6 g | olive oil | 25 g | reduced fat sour cream | 0.5 | beef stock cube | 100 ml | water | 10 g | fresh coriander, chopped | 5 | pickled jalepeno slices | 149 g | cauliflower | salt & pepper |
Method
- Preheat your grill to its highest setting and line a baking sheet with non stick foil.
- Cut your tortilla into the shape of pizza wedges and bake them until crispy (keep an eye on them as being thin they can catch/burn easily!).
- Steam your veggies until they are cooked to your liking.
- Using a mini food processor, blitz the peppers and onions as much as possible.
- Add the olive oil to a frying pan and put on a medium heat.
- Add the onion and pepper mixture and cook on a medium heat for 2 minutes, be careful not to let them colour too quickly.
- Add the beef mince and brown until cooked through.
- Add the garlic, smoked paprika, cumin and chilli and thoroughly coat the beef.
- Sprinkle the stock cube over the beef and add the water and stir.
- Add the smooth tomato mixture, give everything a good stir and leave to simmer for a few minutes so that the water can reduce and the sauce thicken.
- When the sauce has thickened, arrange your crispy homemade tortilla chips onto the plate to one side and add the beef mixture to the other side.
- Top with the chopped coriander, jalepeno peppers and the sour cream.
Recipe Notes
- Make sure your mince is extra lean, less than 5% of fat per 100g.
- For anyone following older BC plans, you’ll notice that this recipe features 3 items from the vegetable list, therefore amounts of 2 have been halved so as not to affect the macros. Because you need peppers, onion AND tomatoes to make this recipe work, you have to halve the peppers and onion in order to have the full tomato allowance to create a sauce.
- For anyone following older BC plans, you may occasionally have cauliflower in place of your green vegetables (gram for gram).
- I like to use low salt stock cubes.
- The pickled jalapeno slices I use contain no added sugar.
- This is a great recipe to make in your slow cooker. Just change the mince beef for extra lean stewing steak (the steak is much easier to trim any visible fat from) and make multiple batches to get the volume of liquid to cover the ingredients in the pot, and if needed add a little more water. Follow the method as normal up until the point you simmer the sauce to thicken and then transfer it to your slow cooker. I like to prep this in the morning and leave it to cook all day.
