Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 500g beef mince

- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 cup grated reduced-fat tasty cheese

Method
- Step 1Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mince. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up mince, for 6 to 8 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Stir in seasoning, salsa, onion and beans.
