Chimichangas

This recipe is a great way to introduce

your little people to Mexican food.

It is also very healthy and fast to prepare.

My two girls absolutely devour these.

 INGREDIENTS (Makes 6 - Serves 3 Little People)

100g Lean Beef Mince

2 Tbsps of Corn Kernels

1/4 Cup Tasty Cheese, grated

2 Tbsps Refried Beans

For Seasoning: add all of any of the below ingredients (optional)

1/4 Tsp Cumin

1/4 Tsp Paprika

1/4 Tsp Onion flakes

1/4 Tsp Garlic powder

METHOD

Preheat oven to 180°C.

Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan, add mince and cook until well browned. Stir in refried beans and corn (add seasoning if using here). Simmer for a further 2 minutes. Remove from heat, then fold through cheese.

 

Warm to separate tortillas. Follow the instructions on the packet.

Spoon 1 heaped tbsp of mince mixture onto centre of each tortilla.

Moisten Tortilla edges lightly, fold all ends in like a parcel and turn over.

Bake for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve with taco or tomato sauce.
