Method

  1. Preheat the grill to high. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the mince, onion, carrot and garlic and fry for 5 mins until the mince is cooked through and the veg is beginning to soften. Add the chopped tomatoes and bring to the boil. 
  2. Meanwhile, tip the white sauce into a small saucepan over a medium heat, whisking continuously for 2-3 mins until thickened. 
  3. Spoon half the mince into a small circular dish and top with 1 tortilla, followed by half the white sauce, the remaining mince, the second tortilla and the remaining white sauce. Finish with a sprinkle of cheese. Place directly under the grill for 5 mins or until golden and serve with the tomato on the side.
