Mexican Tortilla Lasagne
“I really love this unusual Mexican Lasagne recipe, it’s a bit more exciting than the norm and a great way to introduce the kids to something new which is so important. It’s also packed full of vegetables helping me towards feeding my boys their five portions of fruit and veg a day.” Kirstie Allsopp
Serves: 6
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Approximate cost per portion: £1.85
Ingredients
400g extra lean minced beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 small red and 1 small green pepper, deseeded and chopped
1 red or green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
400g canned red kidney beans without salt or sugar, rinsed and drained
500g jar Dolmio Tomato Sauce for Lasagne
4 soft flour tortillas
470g jar Dolmio Creamy Sauce for Lasagne
25g mature Cheddar cheese, grated
To serve
Fresh side salad (finely chopped tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and coriander)
Directions
- Pre-heat the oven to 190°C / fan oven 170°C / Gas 5. Heat a large frying pan and add the mince a handful at a time, cooking over a high heat until seared and browned – about 3-4 minutes. Add the onion, peppers and chilli and cook for a further 2-3 minutes
- Tip in the kidney beans and the Dolmio Tomato Sauce for Lasagne, stir and bring to the boil, then remove from the heat
- Put a tortilla into the base of a 20cm (8 inch) round cake tin or baking dish, then spoon in a quarter of the mince mixture. Top with another tortilla and spread a quarter of the Dolmio Creamy Sauce for Lasagne over it. Repeat the layers 3 more times, then sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the surface
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until cooked and golden brown. Allow to stand for a few minutes, then serve with a refreshing salad of peppers, tomatoes, coriander and red onion with squeeze of lime
Cook’s tips: For a vegetarian alternative, use 400g Quorn mince instead of beef. If you want a change from red meat, substitute pork mince or turkey mince for the beef.
