Cheesy Mexican Beef & Pork Tortilla Tower

with Avocado & Sour Cream

20 min
Difficulty: 1/3
Mexican

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!

Preparation
1
Get prepped

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. 
• Grate carrot. 
Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids 
can help grate the carrot. 

2
Start the filling

• 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. 

3
Finish the filling

• 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!

4
Bake the tower

• 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! 

5
Prep the avocado

• 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!

6
Finish & serve

• 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!
