Whenever I eat Mexican food I feel like I'm on a long seaside holiday. Bliss. Maybe the combination of the spicy flavours mingling with the beans, avocado and the rich tomato sauce, it's just sensational.

Ingredients 

· 1 pound ground beef or mince meat of choice 
· Bowl of cooked rice 
· 1/2 cup chopped onion 
· 1 clove garlic, minced 
· 1/2 teaspoon cumin 
· 1/4 teaspoon salt 
· 1/8 teaspoon pepper 
· 1 (4.5 ounce) can diced green chili peppers 
· 1 (16 ounce) can kidneys beans 
· ½ jar of Pasta Roma garlic sauce 
· 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup 
· Cup of chopped tomatoes 
· Chopped chillies 
· 6 (12 inch) flour tortillas, warmed 
· 2 cups shredded lettuce 
· 1 cup chopped tomatoes 
· 2 cups shredded cheese 
· 1/2 cup chopped green onion 

Method 

1. Crumble ground beef into a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned. Add onion, and cook until translucent. Drain grease, and season with garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir in the green chilies and refried beans until well blended. Turn off heat, but keep warm. 

2. In a saucepan, combine the chopped tomatoes, chillies, tomato soup and pasta roma sauce. Mix well, and cook over medium heat until heated through. You can add more or less water depending on how thick you want your sauce. Turn off heat and keep warm. 

3. Place a warmed tortilla on a plate, and spoon a generous 1/2 cup of the ground beef mixture, rice, onto the center. Top with lettuce and tomato to your liking. Roll up tortilla over the filling. Spoon a generous amount of the sauce over the top, and sprinkle with cheese and green onions. Place in the oven until cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
