Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp chilli oil
  • 1 garlic clove, finely diced
  • ½ onion, finely diced
  • 500 g beef mince
  • 1 packet (40g) fajita spice mix
  • Pinch of sea salt

  • 1 can (425g) Mexican flavoured pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 8 slices white bread
  • 30 g butter
  • 175 g jalapeno infused cheese, sliced

Instructions

In a pan over medium high heat, add the oil, garlic and onion. Cook for approximately 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the beef mince and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.  Add the spice mix, sea salt, crushed tomatoes and beans.  Give it a stir, and simmer for a further 10 minutes. Once cooked, put beef mix into a bowl and place in the fridge to cool for 10 minutes.
