🌮 Cheesy beef tortilla cones

8 cones · prep 25 min · cook 16 min

Ingredients

• 450 g lean ground beef
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1 large tomato, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp chilli powder, 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp onion powder, salt and pepper
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 8 mozzarella sticks, halved
• 100 g shredded cheddar
• Olive oil
• For the sauce: 250 g Greek yoghurt, 1 cup fresh coriander, 1 seeded jalapeño, 1 garlic clove, juice of 1 lime, 1 tsp honey, salt

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C (425 °F) and line a baking sheet.
2. Brown the ground beef over high heat, breaking it up. Push it to the sides of the pan and soften the onion in the middle for 3 to 4 min, then stir everything together.
3. Add the diced tomato and let it break down for 3 to 4 min.
4. Add the garlic and all the spices, and let them become fragrant for 1 min. Add 2 to 3 tbsp water and cook 2 to 3 min more: the mixture should be moist but not watery, or it will soak the tortillas.
5. Take off the heat and cool for 10 min.
6. Cut each tortilla in half. Fold the two straight edges over each other to form a cone open at the top, and set it seam-side down on the tray.
7. Slip a piece of mozzarella into the bottom of each cone, spoon in the beef, then cover generously with shredded cheddar.
8. Drizzle with olive oil and bake 12 to 16 min, until deeply golden and the cheese is bubbling.
9. Meanwhile blend all the sauce ingredients until smooth and pourable.
10. Serve the cones piping hot with the coriander yoghurt sauce alongside.
