Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Grate carrot.
Little cooks: Grate the carrot, but watch out for your fingers!
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook carrot, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add beef mince and cook, breaking up mince with a spoon, until just browned, 3-5 minutes.
• Stir in tomato paste, Tex-Mex spice blend, vegetable stock powder and the water. • Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.
Little cooks: Help measure out the water!
• Place one mini flour tortilla on a lined oven tray. Top the tortilla with some filling, spreading out in an even layer. Sprinkle with some shredded Cheddar cheese. • Repeat layering until all the tortillas and filling are used up. (If cooking for 4, build two towers). • Bake until the top tortilla is golden, 10-12 minutes.
Little cooks: Take the lead and help assemble the tortilla tower!
• Meanwhile, slice avocado in half, scoop out flesh and roughly chop. • In a medium bowl, mash avocado with a drizzle of olive oil until smooth. Season to taste.
Little cooks: Help scoop out and mash the avo!
• Using a bread knife, cut beef tortilla tower into wedges (like a cake!). • Divide cheesy Mexican beef tortilla tower and avocado between plates. • Serve with sour cream. Enjoy!
