Method
Heat the oil in a frying pan, and cook the onion gently for 5-6 minutes, until tender. Add the mince, breaking up with the back of a spoon to form small pieces until cooked thoroughly and no longer pink. Stir in tomato purée, canned tomatoes and herbs. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 30 minutes until reduced and thick, but still moist.
Add a 425g can of kidney beans (or baked beans) to cooked mince mixture . Spread a large spoonful onto a tortilla with some grated cheese. Fold the bottom over the mince and roll up tightly sideways. Secure with a toothpick and grill the wraps until hot. Remove the toothpick before serving.
Alternatively serve mince mixture in mini pita pockets with grated carrot, chopped cucumber and tomato.
