View Full Version : Hhmmmm, what can I make?
I've got some mince meat, spices and stuff and was thinking of making something up as I go along. Also got some tortilla wraps so might make a long meat sausage fried with some garlic and mixed in with spring onions and cajun spices. Then roll it up in a tortilla :D

Enchiladas?
If you cut the tortilla into strips (roll into cigar shape and cut with scissors is a nice quick way) you could fry it up with the other ingredients and serve with crusty bread and butter and a herb/cream/sour dip
Make burgers flavoured with whatever spices etc. you have along with some of the finely chopped spring onions and put in the tortillas to serve with some salad. Bind burgers together with some beaten egg.
Nice ideas :D
Might start cooking soon cos I'm getting hungry. Choices, choices. Think I'll just go with the flow and chuck in whatever I feel like at the time :D
Well, here they are :D
Mince, spring onions, green pepper, BBQ seasoning, crushed chillis and tortilla...

Could only use one tortilla as there's only 6 in the pack (thought there were 8) and we need them for dinner in the week. Chopped the pepper too.

Sliced up one burger to go in the tortilla with some pepper...

And the other one was eaten on it's own with the rest of the pepper :D

how the fudge did you get your burgers to be so firm and held together when raw like that? I've never got the hang of making my own burgers :(

yup
Decent quality mince and put them in the fridge for 1/2 hour to firm up if they're not firm enough once you've made them.
Look great Jamie :D
It also helps (with the flavour too) if you use lean, but not extra lean mince since the extra fat in the lean over extra lean seems to keep them together a bit better.
We had home made lamb burgers on Saturday and they were effing gorgeous.
I effing love lamb burgers!!!
We just buy Tescos healthy living mince. Nothing that special really :)
It's much much better than Tesco Value full of fat & eyeballs mince though :)

I dont understand anyone that could!!
yummi tortillas are awesome.
I lie making an insanely hot chilli very dry, bit of sauce but not liquid. Stick some refried beans in, the chilli, cheese and sour cream and maybe some lettuce/peppers.
