Mexican tortilla

Today I would like to share with you the recipe that I found few days ago and which I absolutely love!

MEXICAN TORTILLA

Ingredients

For the mince:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 500g beef mince
• 1 mild red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
• 1 red pepper, deseeded and diced
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoons ground coriander
• 2 tablespoon tomato purée
• 1–2 tblespoons mango chutney
• 2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes
• 1 small bunch fresh coriander, chopped
• salt pepper

To assemble:

• 3 large tortilla wraps
• 250g  mascarpone
• 100g mozzarella
• 100g cheddar

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 160C.
2. Pour the oil into a large ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat, add the onions and fry for 3 minutes. Turn up the heat, add the mince and fry until brown, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally.
3. Add the chilli, red pepper, garlic and spices and fry for 5 minutes or until all the moisture has evaporated and the mixture is quite dry. Stir in the tomato purée, mango chutney, tinned tomatoes and salt and black pepper. Cover with a lid, bring to the boil and transfer to the oven to simmer for an hour.
4. Remove from the oven and stir in half the coriander. Increase the oven temperature to 200C.
5. Spread a third of the cooked mince beef mixture over the bottom of the ovenproof dish and lay one tortilla wrap on top. Spread a third of the mascarpone (see tip) over the tortilla and sprinkle with a third of each of the mozzarella and Cheddar cheeses. Repeat twice more so you have 3 layers.
6. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes until golden-brown and bubbling. Set aside for 5 minutes before serving and garnish with the remaining coriander.

I love mexican kitchen and I recomment to all of you to try to do this dish. It might seem like it's not really simple but it's also not so difficult to prepare. 

Enjoy your meal!
