    Made from stuff we had in the fridge the day before grocery shopping, now we have it all the time. Sometimes we put in black or red kidney beans.

    Ingredients

    • Packet of flour tortillas
    • 450g minced beef (hamburger for Americans)
    • One onion, finely chopped
    • Crushed garlic
    • Grated zucchini and carrot (or any finely chopped veges)
    • 1 tsp each of cinnamon, dried thyme, cumin
    • 1 can chopped tomatoes
    • Butter
    • Flour
    • Vegetable stock
    • Grated cheese
    • seasoning to taste

    Directions

    1. In a pan cook mince until browned and add the onion and garlic.
    2. When the onion is translucent add the spices, stir through and add in veges
    3. After a few minutes when they are softish add in the tomatoes.
    4. Turn right down and put a lid on the pan
    5. In a saucepan melt a good sized knob of butter then add a couple of tablespoons of flour and let sizzle a little
    6. Slowly add vegetable or beef stock (from a cube is fine) and whisk after each addition until thickened.
    7. Add in about half a cup of tasty grated cheese and stir until melted.
    8. Oil the bottom of a round casserole and put a tortilla in the bottom
    9. Add some of the meat in a good layer then a layer of the sauce mix, then another tortilla. I only had about 4 tortillas so do big thick layers
    10. Finish with a tortilla, some of the cheese sauce then another tortilla brushed with oil. This one goes all crunchy and the kids love it.
    11. Bake in the oven at 180 c or 450 f until the tortilla on the top is nice and crispy and brown.
    12. I take off the top tortilla and cut it into 4, then spoon the lasagne onto plate and put the tortilla wedge on top with some grated cheese.
