Description

This all-in-one dish is so quick to make. Think Mexican lasagne using ready-made tortillas instead of sheets of pasta. Utterly delicious and very moreish!For this recipe you will need a 1.5 litre/2½ pint wide-based (preferably round), shallow ovenproof dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 500g/1lb 2oz beef mince
  • 1 mild red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 red pepper, deseeded and diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée
  • 1–2 tbsp mango chutney
  • 2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes
  • 1 small bunch fresh coriander, chopped
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 large tortilla wraps
  • 250g/9oz full-fat mascarpone
  • 100g/3½oz mozzarella, grated
  • 100g/3½oz cheddar

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3.
  • Pour the oil into a large ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat, add the onions and fry for 3 minutes. Turn up the heat, add the mince and fry until brown, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally.
  • Add the chilli, red pepper, garlic and spices and fry for 5 minutes, or until all the moisture has evaporated and the mixture is quite dry. Stir in the tomato purée, mango chutney, tinned tomatoes and salt and black pepper. Cover with a lid, bring to the boil and transfer to the oven to simmer for an hour.
  • Remove from the oven and stir in half the coriander. Increase the oven temperature to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
  • Spread a third of the cooked mince beef mixture over the bottom of the ovenproof dish and lay one tortilla wrap on top. Spread a third of the mascarpone (see tip) over the tortilla and sprinkle with a third of each of the mozzarella and Cheddar cheeses. Repeat twice more so you have 3 layers.
  • Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes until golden-brown and bubbling. Set aside for 5 minutes before serving and garnish with the remaining coriander.
