Serves 4

Low – calorie spray

500g 5% mince beef

2 large peppers, deseeded and sliced

2 red onions, sliced

400g mixed beans, rinsed and drained

2tbs fajitas spice mix

400g can chopped tomatoes

Small bunch fresh coriander, chopped

6 corn tortillas

150ml sour cream, low fat if you can find it

50g low fat cheddar cheese, grated

Method

Heat a large non – stick lidded frying pan, spray with low – calorie spray, add the mince beef and cook for 5 minutes, stirring until there is no raw meat. Add the mixed peppers and onions and cook for a further 5 minutes stirring occasionally.

Add the fajita spice mix, beans, chopped tomatoes and cook for a further 10 minutes until thick.

Stir in some of the coriander.

Spread a quarter of the mince and bean mixture into the bottom of an oven proof round dish or pan, spread over a small amount of the sour cream and top with a corn tortilla.

Repeat until all the mince mixture is used up ending with a corn tortilla, sprinkle over the grated cheese and pop under a hot grill to brown the tortilla and melt the cheese, keep an eye on it so it does not burn.

Sprinkle with the remaining chopped coriander.

And serve with a fresh side salad.
