Mex up your midweek meal roster with this easy, cheesy one-pan dish, which is finished with a zingy combination of cucumber, chilli and lime.

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 red onion, finely chopped
500g pork mince
1 tbsp Cajun spice mix
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 cup baby spinach leaves
1 small bunch coriander, leaves and stems chopped
2 spring onions, finely chopped
2 fresh jalapeno chillies, 1 finely chopped, plus 1 sliced, to serve
6 large flour tortillas
¾ cup sour cream
1 cup grated mozzarella
1 Lebanese cucumber, chopped
2 tbsp lime juice

Method

Step 1
Preheat the oven grill to high. Heat the oil in a 28cm ovenproof frying pan over high heat. Add the onion and pork and cook, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon, for 4 minutes. Add the Cajun spice, ground coriander and spinach, and cook for another 4 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat, place in a large bowl, and add the fresh coriander, spring onion and finely chopped jalapeno. Stir to combine.
Step 2
Wipe out the pan and set it aside. Spread 1 tablespoon of sour cream over each tortilla. Top each with ½ cup of the mince mixture, rolling to enclose. Place in the frying pan, seam-side down.
Step 3
Top with the remaining sour cream and scatter with mozzarella. Place under the grill for 5 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.
Step 4
Mix the cucumber, lime juice and sliced chilli together in a small bowl and spoon over to serve.
