INGREDIENTS

SERVES: 8

cooking spray
600g very lean beef mince
1 cup onion finely diced
1 teaspoon crushed garlic (in jar)
1/2 cup corn kernels
1 cup capsicum small diced
1 x 415g can no added salt crushed tomatoes
3 tablespoons no added salt tomato paste
1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt-reduced chicken-style stock powder (Massel)
2 tablespoons salt-reduced taco seasoning (Old El Paso)
5 tortilla sheets
1/2 cup 25% reduced-fat grated tasty cheese

METHOD

Preheat oven to 180 C fan forced.
In a large saucepan coated with cooking spray saute mince. When cooked drain and place in a bowl, leave to one side. Add all the remaining ingredients to saucepan except the tortilla sheets and cheese. Bring mixture to boil, simmer 10 minutes. Remove 1 cup of the tomato sauce and leave to one side (this will go on the top). Add the mince back into the remaining sauce and bring to boil. Coat a quiche or pie plate with cooking spray and lay 1 tortilla sheet on base and spread 1/2 cups of mince sauce over sheet, repeat this 3 times. Top with last tortilla sheet and cover with reserved tomato sauce, sprinkle cheese over top. Bake for 30 minutes or until cheese has browned.
