Crispy Cajun Beef Wraps

Ingredients:

500g beef mince

1 tsp Avohaven Cajun Spice (or Sunshine Curry if you prefer a milder flavour)

Salt & cracked black pepper, to taste

400g can black beans, drained and rinsed (or use red kidney beans if that’s easier to find)

1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned, drained)

½ red capsicum, finely chopped

2 spring onions, finely sliced

1 cup cooked rice (leftover white or brown rice works perfectly)

1 ½ cups grated tasty cheese (or mild/colby/edam — whatever you’ve got on hand)

½ cup sour cream or unsweetened Greek yoghurt

6–8 large flour tortillas

1–2 Tbsp oil (for pan-frying)

Instructions:

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the beef mince and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.

Sprinkle in the Cajun Spice, along with a little salt and pepper. Add a splash (about 2 Tbsp) of water and stir to coat the beef in the seasoning.

Tip in the beans, corn, capsicum and spring onion. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes until everything is warmed through.

Warm the rice in the microwave if needed. Place a tortilla on a flat surface and scatter over a small handful of grated cheese. Spoon a line of rice across one edge, followed by a dollop or two of sour cream and a spoonful of the beef mixture. Roll up tightly, folding in the sides like a burrito.

Heat a clean frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Place the wraps seam side down and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, turning until golden and crispy all over.

Slice in half and enjoy while hot. These are great with a fresh salad on the side or a little extra sour cream for dipping.
