Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Finely chop garlic. • Thinly slice onion (see ingredients). • Grate carrot. • Drain sweetcorn. • Drain and rinse chickpeas.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef mince, carrot and onion, breaking beef up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. • SPICY! The spice blend is hot! Add less if you're sensitive to heat. Add garlic, Mexican Fiesta spice blend and tomato paste, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add chickpeas, the water, brown sugar and plant-based butter and cook, stirring, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat. Stir through half the enchilada sauce until combined. Season to taste.
• Lay mini flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon beef filling down the centre of each tortilla. • Roll tortillas up tightly and place, seam-side down, evenly spaced on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. • Bake taquitos until golden and starting to crisp, 8-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop baby leaves. • Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook sweetcorn until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are “popping” out.
• To the bowl of charred corn, add baby leaves and a drizzle of olive oil. • Toss to combine. Season to taste.
• Divide beef and chickpeas taquitos between plates. • Top with remaining enchilada sauce and corn salsa. • Drizzle over plant-based mayo to serve. Enjoy!
