We have another fabulous guest blogger joining us this week for ‘Kids Tea Tuesdays’!
Launched in 2016 whilst starting maternity leave, Hollie began ThriftyMum which is a growing blog and online community for savvy parents, who want to continue a great lifestyle, whilst juggling the financial constraints of bringing up children. Hollie is sharing her mid-week family favourite, burritos, with us today. I don’t know about yours, but my lot love anything that they can eat with their hands and the messier, the better!!
- 4 tbsp chopped red onion, cucumber, tomato, coriander, mint and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 onion, 1 red and 1 green pepper
- Low calorie cooking spray
- 380g lean beef mince (5% fat or less)
- 2 tsp ground cumin and paprika, 1 tsp ground cinnamon and artificial sweetener
- 400g can of tomatoes and kidney beans
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- Salt and pepper
- 4 tortillas
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 Tbsp of fresh lime juice or lemon juice
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 1 chilli, stems and seeds removed, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons coriander
- Black pepper
- 1/2 tomato, chopped
Method:
- Make the salsa: place the red onion, cucumber, tomato, coriander, mint and lemon juice in a small bowl, mix and set aside.
- Prepare the beef filling: peel and chop the onion and dice the peppers. Spray a pan with low calorie cooking spray and fry off the onion and mince for 5-6 minutes. Add the, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, sweetener, peppers, tomatoes, drained kidney beans and soy sauce. Season, bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Make the guacamole: Halve and scoop out the avocado pulp and mush up with a fork. Add in the lime juice, red onion, chilli, tomato, coriander and season with black pepper to taste.
- Spoon the beef mixture onto the tortillas. Serve with the salsa and guacamole and a scoop of sour cream.
- I like to serve mine with chopped lettuce and savoury rice (which I just buy in a packet!)
- Enjoy your Mid-week Messy Burritos!!
