Flavoursome Mexican Style Beef Mince with rice, beans and corn. The perfect filling for build-your-own burritos.
I love this recipe for Mexican Style Beef Mince. It's made from super affordable and simple ingredients but packs a big punch on flavour. It's easy to make, freezes well and is super versatile!
As this recipe makes a large quantity, you could easily freeze a portion for another night. I often make these build your own burritos the night I make the mince, then use the frozen meal for nachos, tacos or quesadillas later in the month.
How to make Mexican Style Beef Mince Burritos:
Start by heating the oil in a large frying pan then add the onion and sauté until cooked through. Add the garlic and beef mince. Using a spatula to break it up, fry until the mince has browned. Add the spices, tomato paste and salt, stir through the mince until well combined. Pour in the tomatoes, beans and corn.
Simmer for 5-10 minutes until everything is cooked through. Season to taste then stir through the cooked rice. Keep warm until ready to serve.
To serve, toast or warm each tortilla then top with the hot mince mixture, cheese, tomato, lettuce, carrot and avocado. Finish off with sour cream and hot sauce (if desired) then roll up tightly. Slice in half and serve.

How many cups of raw rice makes 250g cooked rice?

Broadway Coles sells it but they were out of stock tonight. Does the Chipotle sauce work the same or does it need to be the Chipotle in Adobo?
Vanya says
It can be any type of chipotle or hot sauce. Just choose one with a heat your family likes.
