with Avocado & Sour Cream
This week’s special ingredient is Avocado - creamy, dreamy and packed with goodness! Give your avocado a gentle squeeze - ripe avocados yield slightly but aren’t mushy! If yours is firm, let it ripen on the bench (not the fridge!) until it’s just right. This special ingredient acts as the perfect accompaniment to tonight’s recipe, taking this tortilla tower to new heights!

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
• Grate carrot.
Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids
can help grate the carrot.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat
with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot, stirring,
until softened, 4-5 minutes.
• Add beef & pork mince and cook, breaking up
mince with a spoon, until just browned,
3-5 minutes. Drain oil from the pan.
• SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if
you’re sensitive to heat! Add tomato paste,
Tex-Mex spice blend, vegetable stock and
the water.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until
thickened, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste with
salt and pepper.
Little cooks: Help measure out the water!
• Place one mini flourtortilla on a lined oven tray.
Top the tortilla with some filling, spreading it
into an even layer. Sprinkle over some Cheddar
cheese.
• Repeat this process until all the tortillas and
filling are used up.
• Bake until the top tortilla is golden,
10-12 minutes.
TIP: If you’re baking for 4 people, build two
tortilla towers.
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 cheesy Mexican beef and
pork tortilla tower into wedges (like a cake!) and
divide between plates.
• Serve with avocado and light sour cream. Enjoy!
