This recipe for pressed tortillas makes a super quick and easy meal, and the kids will love it too. We've made it with Vince Mince, but it works just as well with lamb mince if you'd rather. Switch up the fillings to include your family favourites or whatever you've got in the veggie drawer (button mushrooms, capsicums or courgette could all work nicely). If you're stuck for ideas, just think about your favourite pizza toppings.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1x 100g packet Vince Mince (Mexican or Kiwi flavours work well!) or 250g lamb mince
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup grated cheese
  • ½ small red onion, sliced
  • 4 tortilla’s

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Prep your mince. For Vince, cover with 1 cup of boiling water and leave for 5-6 minutes to hydrate. For lamb mince, brown in a pan over medium heat until cooked through, seasoning to taste.
  2. Make 1 cut in a line from the centre of the tortilla to the base.
  3. Add ¼ of your Vince and sliced tomato in the top left quarter of your tortilla
  4. Place ¼ of your spinach and avocado in the top right quarter
  5. Place ¼ of your cheese and onion in the bottom right quarter
  6. Take the bottom edge of the cut tortilla and fold it up over the Vince and tomato.
  7. Fold again over top of the spinach and avocado to make a half circle.
  8. The last fold should be sitting on top of the cheese and onion.
  9. Repeat for the 3 remaining tortillas.
  10. Brown your folded tortillas in a pan with a little oil on a medium to low heat, until warmed through and cheese is melted
