Chilli powder1 tsp
Dried oreganoA pinch

Method

Fry the mince in a dry non-stick pan over a high heat until browned, breaking it up. Add the cumin, chilli powder and oregano and stir for a minute.
Add the tomato purée, beans and 100 ml of water. Simmer for eight minutes until the liquid has gone and the mince is coated.
Stir the lime juice into the yogurt. Warm the tortillas in a dry pan.
Fill the tortillas with the mince, shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, grated cheese and the lime yogurt.

Worth knowing

Packet taco seasoning is mostly salt and cornflour. The three spices here do the same job and cost nothing in calories.
Two tortillas is a snug dinner. A third adds 65 kcal and there is enough filling for it.
