About This Recipe

Cumin and chilli fill the kitchen with warmth long before the pot’s ready, and that same fragrance carries into the beef mince once it’s simmered down. Topped with LANCEWOOD® Sour Cream, LANCEWOOD® Cheddar, guacamole and a fresh corn salsa, it is the dinner for the coldest night of winter, plates built exactly how everyone likes them.

Chilli, coriander and a long, slow simmer work into the beef mince until the spice sits under the surface rather than on top of it. A cooling spoonful of LANCEWOOD® Sour Cream and a scattering of grated LANCEWOOD® Cheddar bring the heat back down to a level everyone at the table can handle.

Lay out the tortilla chips, wraps, guacamole and salsa and let everyone build their own plate. Second helpings tend to happen before the first plates are even finished.
