Prep time: 15 mins

Cook time: 30 mins

Serves: 4

Cooking Skill: Worth the effort

Ingredients

500g lean pork mince (5% fat)

1 tablespoon oil

1 onion, peeled and finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced

3 tablespoons chipotle paste

1 teaspoon ground cumin

2 teaspoons ground coriander

1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes

1 x 400g can cooked black beans in water, drained

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 small tortilla wraps

100g grated cheese (Cheddar or a cheese blend)

To serve

Fresh coriander

Sour cream

Squeeze of fresh lime

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C, 160°C Fan, Gas Mark 4

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the garlic and cook for a minute until fragrant. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Add the pork mince to the pan, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, slightly crispy and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the chipotle paste spices and cook for 1-2 minutes until the pork is well coated and the spices are fragrant. Add the chopped tomatoes, black beans, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Lay out the tortillas and spoon over an even amount of the pork mixture onto each wrap. Roll up tightly and place them seam-side down in a baking dish. Once all the enchiladas are in the dish, sprinkle over the grated cheese evenly over.

Step 7

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and serve hot with a sprinkle of fresh coriander. You can add a dollop of sour cream, or a squeeze of lime if you like, though these are optional extras.
