  • 1 cup +- 160g frozen corn kernels
  • 1 handful fresh coriander leaves roughly chopped

Tortilla cups

  • 8 medium flour tortillas
  • spring onions sliced, for garnish
  • Olive oil for cooking
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Special equipment

  • 1 muffin tin

Instructions
 

For the filling

  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in large saucepan or Dutch oven.
  • Add the beef and cook until turning brown and crisp on the edges.
  • Season well with taco spice.
  • Remove beef from the pan and set aside.
  • Add a fresh drizzle of olive oil to the pan.
  • Add onion and fry until tender.
  • Add the garlic and jalapeño and cook for a minute until fragrant.
  • Add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown and tender.
  • Pour in the tinned tomatoes, black beans and seasoning.
  • Return the mince to the dish.
  • Bring to a simmer and cover.
  • Cook for a few minutes allowing the flavours to meld and the tomato to thicken. Add the corn and cook until warmed through.
  • When ready to serve - finish with fresh coriander and stir through.

For the tortilla cups

  • Preheat oven to 200˚C with the fan on.
  • Different brands will make various sizes of flour tortillas.
  • Measure tortillas by pressing and folding one into the muffin tin to create a little cup and seeing how much excess there is.
  • Trim tortillas if necessary so that once placed in the muffin tin there is a little lip over the edge for plenty of filling.
  • Brush trimmed tortillas on both sides with a little olive oil.
  • Place in the muffin tin.
  • If you have a six cup muffin tin - do two rounds.
  • Place a little oven safe ramekin or little metal dessert mould in the muffin cup to help hold the shape.
  • Bake for ± 8 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and when cool enough to handle remove the tortilla cups and place them on a cooling rack. They will crisp up as they cool.

To assemble

  • Spoon the warm filling into the baked tortilla cups.
  • Garnish with spring onions, serve with lime wedges and enjoy!
