Cooking Steps

Get Prepped
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Drain and rinse the sweetcorn and kidney beans in a sieve.
  • Trim and thinly slice the scallion.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Little Chef's TIP: Kids can help to drain the kidney beans and sweetcorn.

Fry the Mince
2
  • Place a pot over medium-high heat (without oil). 
  • Once hot, fry the pork mince until browned, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. 
  • Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper

NOTE: Swapping to beef mince? Follow the recipe as written, replacing 'pork' with 'beef' where necessary.

Simmer the Chilli
3
  • Add the garlic and Mexican spice mix (with a drizzle of oil if needed).
  • Cook until fragrant, 1 min.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, corn, kidney beans, ¼ tsp salt (per 2P) and ½ tsp sugar (per 2P).
  • Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 6-8 mins. 
Warm the Tortillas
4
  • Meanwhile, pop the tortillas into the oven to warm, 1-2 mins.
Finishing Touches
5
  • Once cooked, season the pork to taste with salt and pepper
  • Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if necessary.
  • Stir in as much of the chilli flakes as you like (use less if you don't like spice—or if you're cooking for kids).
Dish Up
6
  • Divide the pork chilli between bowls, topped with a dollop of creme fraiche
  • Scatter the cheese and scallion over the top. 
  • Serve warm tortillas alongside.
