Ingredients

1 tbs olive oil
1 brown onion, finely chopped
500g lean beef mince
30g pkt mild taco seasoning
420g can black beans, rinsed, drained
400g can diced tomatoes
¼ cup chopped coriander
10 flour tortillas
1½ cups (180g) Devondale Tasty Shredded Cheese
Coriander leaves, to serve
 
Bechamel sauce
60g Devondale unsalted Butter
⅓ cup (50g) plain flour
3 cups (750ml) milk


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 6cm-deep, 20cm x 28cm baking dish. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until onion softens.
  3. Add mince and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up lumps, for 5 mins or until browned.
  4. Add taco seasoning and cook for 30 secs or until aromatic.
  5. Add beans and tomato. Cook for 3 mins or until heated through. Season. Stir in the chopped coriander.
  6. To make bechamel sauce, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour and cook for 1 min. Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until the mixture boils and thickens. Season.
  7. Place 2 tortillas over the base of prepared dish, trimming to fit. Spread with one-quarter of mince mixture and drizzle with ¼ cup bechamel sauce. Repeat layering with remaining tortillas, mince mixture and bechamel sauce. Sprinkle with the cheese.
  8. Bake for 25-30 mins or until the cheese melts.
  9. Set aside for 10 mins before serving with coriander leaves.
