Homemade Toritillas With Spicy Ground Beef

• 1 1/4 cups plain flour
• 1 1/4 cups cornmeal fine
• 2 1/8 tablespoons margarine
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 onion peeled and finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove peeled and crushed
• 1 green chilli deseeded and chopped, plus whole chillies to garnish
• 1 1/8 pounds minced beef coarse
• 1 3/4 cups kidney beans drained and rinsed
• 1 1/4 cups sweetcorn cans, drained
• 7/8 cup sauce jar mild salsa

1. Mix the flour and cornmeal in a bowl with 1/2 tsp salt. Add the margarine in small flakes, then stir in 6 3/4 tbsp lukewarm water. Mix to a dough then knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, adding a little more water if the dough is crumbly. Wrap in plastic wrap and leave to rest for 30 mins.
2. Meanwhile, heat half the oil in a frying pan and saute the onion, garlic and serrano pepper for 4-5 mins. Add the beef and saute over a high heat until browned all over, stirring all the time. Stir in the kidney beans, corn and salsa. Simmer for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally until thickened.
3. Divide the dough into 8 balls and roll out into thin 8 inch diameter round tortillas. Use a little of the remaining oil to lightly grease a heavy-based frying pan and fry one of the tortillas, for 1-2 mins on each side until brown patchy spots appear. Repeat to make 8 tortillas in total, adding more oil as needed. Fill the tortillas with the spicy beef mixture and serve garnished with serrano peppers.
