Thermomix Method:
- Chop the onion and garlic by placing 100g onion (quartered) and 2 cloves of garlic into the Thermomix bowl.
- Set for 3 seconds/speed 9.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Sauté the onion and garlic by adding 20g of olive oil to the Thermomix bowl.
- Set to 5 minutes/100°C/speed 2.
- While this is cooking, prepare the mince by placing the 500g of beef mince into the steaming basket. Break up the mince so it steams evenly without forming large chunks.
- Add seasoning and main ingredients: After the 5 minutes of sautéing, weigh in 30g of Bec's Taco blend (or any taco blend you like), ½ tsp of chilli flakes (optional), the 400g can of whole tomatoes, 1 beef continental stock pot, and 100g of cream into the Thermomix bowl.
- Next step chop the tomatoes, put the lid on, place the steaming basket inside the Thermomix bowl (no need to remove it), then chop the tomatoes for 3 seconds/speed 4. This helps break down the tomatoes for a smoother sauce.
- Now start steaming the mince while cooking the sauce. Set the Thermomix to cook for 20 minutes/120°C/speed 2, with the measuring cup (MC) in place.
- Bring it together: When the cooking time is up, carefully remove the steaming basket using the Thermomix spatula. Transfer the cooked beef mince into a Thermoserver or a similar heatproof bowl.
- Add the corn and spinach to the Thermoserver, followed by the meat sauce from the Thermomix jug.
- Pop the lid on and let the spinach wilt for a few minutes. Give everything a quick stir to combine.
- Serve: Spoon the Tex Mex Mince into mini wraps, sprinkle with grated cheese, and warm through in an oven or air fryer. enjoy!
