Cajun Beef Tortillas

I really enjoy recipes that make use of cajun seasoning. For me, this is a perfect blend of both spice and flavour. The seasoning can turn even the simplest ingredients into a really tasty dish.

A simple easy to cook meal that elevates beef mince to a wonderful tasty, cajun spiced meal. The beef is spiced and mixed with capsicum and kidney beans, then baked before being topped with cherry tomatoes and advocado for serving.

Served with sour cream and warm tortillas for a meal that is as easy to eat as it is to prepare & cook.

This meal can really be done in about 30 minutes, so when you are pressed for time or even thinking about takeaway, this is a great alternative.

This is a meal on high rotation at our house.
