·         1 tsp. each ground coriander and groundcumin

·         ½ tsp. dried,crushed chillies

·         400g can chopped tomatoes

·         100g each frozen soya beans and frozen sweet corn

·         1 tbsp. tomato ketchup

·         2 tbsp. frozen chopped coriander

·         100g mature Cheddar, fresh or frozen

·         a few baby plum tomatoes, some chopped cucumber and a few tortilla chips, optional, to serve

Preparation:

1.     Put the pack of mince in the microwave and defrost until just thawed. Heat a large frying pan, add the mince and onion. Let it brown for a few minutes, then add the spices, tomatoes and seasoning. Simmer for 15 minutes.

2.     Add the frozen soya beans and sweet corn, then the ketchup, along with 4 tbsp. water, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in coriander.

3.     Defrost the pancakes in the microwave. Lay them out on the work surface and divide the hot mince mixture between them. Roll them up and pack tightly in a flameproof dish. Sprinkle with the Cheddar and put under the grill (not too close) for about 10 minutes, so that they warm through and the cheese melts and turns golden. Serve hot with the salad and tortilla chips.
