Recipe By: @amysheppardfood

Serves 4 | Time: 25 minutes | Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

  • 200g YAMAS! Reduced Fat Grilling Cheese
  • Oil for frying
  • 1 red pepper, finely sliced
  • 1 yellow pepper, finely sliced
  • 1 onion, finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree
  • 2-3 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 8 small flour tortillas

Method

  1. Cut the grilling cheese into slices, then cut the slices in half so they resemble chips. Place them in a bowl.
  2. Place the spices in a small bowl and stir until combined. Spoon roughly a third of the spices over the grilling cheese and use your hands to ensure that all the pieces are coated.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large non-stick frying pan on medium heat.
  4. Add the grilling cheese sticks to the pan and fry for 5 minutes, turning regularly until they are starting to turn a golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  5. Heat a little more oil and add the peppers and onions. Stir for 5 minutes until soft.
  6. Add the remaining spices. Fry for one minute.
  7. Finally, stir in the tomato paste and 2-3 tbsp of water – enough to loosen the mixture a little.
  8. Briefly heat through before serving on warmed tortillas with your favourite taco toppings like sour cream and guacamole.

Smoky spices, crispy cheese, juicy peppers – this recipe has everything for your next taco night!
