Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and crisp the tortillas on two half baking trays in a single layer, 5 minutes, flipping once, until they stiffen.
  2. Brown the beef hard in the oil over medium-high heat with the chopped onion, breaking it up, 6 minutes, until no pink remains. Add the garlic, paste and paprika for the last minute and cook until the pan is dry and the beef reads 74°C (165°F).
  3. Spread the passata over the tortillas, then spoon the beef on and scatter the mozzarella over.
  4. Bake 8-10 minutes, until the cheese blisters and the edges of the tortillas brown.
  5. Scatter the halved tomatoes over the hot cheese and cut into wedges.
Chef’s tipCook the beef until the pan is dry; any liquid soaks into the base and it will never crisp.
KeepThe beef keeps 3 days chilled and freezes 2 months; top and bake the tortilla when you eat it, as it goes soft within the hour.
SwapNo beef mince? Turkey mince, browned the same way.
