Easy enchiladas sent in by Wendy Furminger of Stanthorpe, Queensland.
INGREDIENTS

olive oil, 1 tablespoon
mince (your choice), 500g
onion, 1, chopped
red capsicum, ½, seeded, chopped
tomato paste, ¼ cup
mild paprika, 1 tablespoon
chilli powder, 1 teaspoon
red kidney beans, 400g, rinsed, drained
tomato pasta sauce, 550g jar
tortillas, 8
cheddar cheese, grated, 2 cups
parmesan, grated, ¼ cup
dried mixed herbs, to sprinkle
METHOD

  1. Preheat oven to hot, 200°C. Lightly grease a large, shallow, ovenproof dish.

  2. Heat oil in a large frying pan on high. Brown mince 5-6 minutes, breaking up lumps as it cooks. Add onion and capsicum and cook 2-3 minutes, until onion softens.

  3. Stir in tomato paste, paprika and chilli and cook 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Add beans and half the pasta sauce. Simmer 4-5 minutes. Cool slightly.

  4. Spoon mince mixture evenly down the centre of each tortilla. Roll up to enclose and place side by side in the dish as you work.

  5. Pour remaining pasta sauce over, sprinkle with cheeses and scatter with herbs. Bake 25-30 minutes, until golden and bubbling.


TOP TIP
  • This dish freezes well.
  • For a delicious change, serve the mince mixture with rice, topped with salsa, grated cheese, corn chips and sour cream.
