Instructions
a) Grate the cheese. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

a) Pop a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
b) Once hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins.
c) Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, tomato puree and Cajun spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder) to the beef.

a) Meanwhile, pour the cider vinegar, sugar and olive oil for the dressing into a medium bowl (see pantry for both amounts).

c) Pop the tortillas (3 per person) onto a baking tray and into your oven to warm through, 1-2 mins.
a) Taste the beef and bean mix and season with salt and pepper if needed.
b) Share the tortillas between your plates and top with spoonfuls of the beef and bean mix - as much as you'd like.
c) Sprinkle over the cheese and top with some salad.

Enjoy!
