Name of Recipe: Mexican Beef Slice
Ingredients:
1 onion, peeled and cut into quarters
2 cloves garlic
1 carrot, cut into chunks
1 zucchini, cut into chunks
1 capsicum, cut into quarters
400g beef mince (I used 500g)
3 tablespoons taco seasoning (I made my own, but this is equivalent to 1 packet of store bought) http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5620.0
1 teaspoon cumin
1 egg
2 egg whites
350g milk
150g self raising flour
1 tomato, cut into slices
1/2 cup light grated cheese (I used a bit more)
Preparation:
Grease 24cm flan dish and line bottom with baking paper if needed. I use a ceramic dish which doesn't stick, so I don't line with paper.
Preheat oven 200 degrees celcius fan forced.
Place onion, garlic, carrot, zucchini and capsicum in tmx bowl and chop 3 seconds, speed 5.
Heat 1 tabs oil in a medium frypan and fry mince until brown.
Add veggies and cook 2 minutes.
Stir in taco seasoning and cumin. Cook 1 minute then remove from heat and set aside.
Add eggs, milk and flour to tmx bowl (no need to clean) and mix 10 seconds, speed 5. Scrape down and mix again 10 seconds, speed 5.
Pour batter into flan dish, top with mince mixture, then tomato slices and finally cheese.
Bake 35-40 minutes or until brown.
Tips/Hints:
I use a ceramic flan dish that is almost an inch deep and much deeper than my 24cm quiche tin which has the removable base.
Can add 1/2 cup corn kernels to beef mixture. I don't as not everyone eats corn in our house.
Original recipe from Symply Too Good To Be True by Annette Sym.

INAID - Very yummy. A little caramelised. I had enough mince left over that I made another half batter mix. It made 12 bars and 6 muffins. the mince sort of sinks into the batter but still on top. They are very yummy and I did use the full egg. However next time I think I will use an extra egg and cook on a lower temp perhaps as I just found it took a while to cook through. The top was browning before the batter was cooked.
thermo 18 - we really enjoyed, we had it with salad and will make again. Next time might try individual ones for lunch box.
Katiej - I blitzed my vegies a little too much and they were quite mushy, next time I'll be sure to be more careful. It was very tasty, my DH went back for seconds. Thanks for the recipe Kimmy.
CC - we all loved it. Thanks Kim, it's a delicious recipe.
KarenH - this was delicious.Thanks so much KimmyH. Another firm family favourite.
JD - I made this for DD the other day but on the way home I realised I had only put in 3 tsps taco seasoning instead of 3 tbspns. As the whole family loves Mexican food, they were expecting a certain taste and of course it didn't deliver - when I told her what I'd done and asked her how it tasted, she said it was like a shepherds pie but a bit bland. I will have to do it again and put the correct amount of seasoning in it this time.
mcmich - Lovely recipe. I doubled the mixture as I had kids and a friend coming at short notice. Served with salad and mixed some taco seasoning through butter to spread on a French stick to make Mexican bread. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.
Delightful Den - I really enjoyed it but there way too much mixture for my flan tin and it got a bit messy. The 'dough' mixture was very runny.
Kimmyh - Yes it is Den. Bit like a crepe batter.
Bedlam - made this and the taco seasoning. DH loved it.
-
Thanks for the recipe Kimmy.I'm sure my lot will love this ;) ;D
-
This looks so yummy! I might try with rice flour, do you think that would work? Would be really nice with guacamole on the side I think!
Also Kimmyh, could you share your recipe for your homemade taco seasoning? The packets from the store gives me heart palpitations just looking at the nutritional info. I think they have about a week's worth of sodium.
-
Looks good Kimmy. This one might be good for the lunch boxes this week, cooked in bar moulds.
-
Looks wonderful Kimmy, now on my to do list. :D
-
Thanks kimmy, always looking for new mince ideas :) plus I have everything that is needed :)
-
Not sure about rice flour Laura, but give it a go and let us know. You will need to add a raising agent in there to mimic self raising flour.
The recipe for taco seasoning is on the forum Laura. Here's the link http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5620.0

This sounds a very interesting recipe Kimmy, it's hard to imagine what it would taste like. The mince & vegies obviously sink and mix into the batter layer or does that layer stay separate?
-
Some of the batter sort of stays separate and forms a crust a bit like an impossible quiche/pie. Some of the beef sinks a little. Hard to describe. Next time I will take a photo of it cut so you can see the inside.
-
Thanks Kimmy. I've printed it off and my DH will make it one day soon.

I made them today. Thanks Kimmy. Very yummy. A little caramelised ;) I had enough mince left over that i made another half batter mix. It made 12 bars and 6 muffins.
-
Individual slices, good idea INAID.
-
Those look great INAID! Did the batter mostly stay at the bottom, or did it creep up the sides of the muffins like a tart? It does look like it's all encased in the batter. I'd be happy to open my lunchbox and have that inside!!
-
It's like Kimmy explained, the mince sort of sinks into the batter but still on top. Hard to explain. They are very yummy and I did use the full egg. However next time I think I will use an extra egg and cook on a lower temp perhaps as I just found it took a while to cook through. The top was browning before the batter was cooked.
-
Great idea as little ones INAID.
The temp in recioe does seem high, but works with my oven. I think it's the type of dish you use that browns things up. My ceramic dishes cook things slower than my tins. You can always cover food with foil if it browns too quickly too. Glad you enjoyed it xox
-
A brilliant idea to make them individual serves INAID.
Both lots look yum.
-
Kimmy this is so yummy, we really enjoyed, we had it with salad and will make again. Next time might try individual ones for lunch box :)

Wow that looks delicious thermo18 8)

Looks great thermo. Glad you enjoyed it. Love your dish.

I made this for dinner tonight. I blitzed my vegies a little too much and they were quite mushy, next time I'll be sure to be more careful.
It was very tasty, my DH went back for seconds. Thanks for the recipe Kimmy.

Your welcome Katie. We are all guilty of blitzing too long once in a while.
-
Made this for supper tonight,we all loved it.Thanks Kim,it's a delicious recipe :-*
-
Could this be mAde without the cheese?
-
This looks great KimmyH! Would love to make it. What recipe do you use for your home-made taco seasoning?
Oops - just seen your link to the taco seasoning in a previous post - thanks!
-
Hope you enjoy it Karen.
DJ, you could try it without cheese, but I think the tomato would burn. Plus cheese makes everything taste better, doesn't it!
-
Not when cooked cheese makes you very sick....
Can put breadcrumbs on top of tomatoes.
-
That sounds like it might work DJ.
-
Oh my goodness this was delicious ;D Thanks so much KimmyH. Another firm family favourite.
-
That's great Karen. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it.

I made this for DD the other day but on the way home I realised I had only put in 3 tsps taco seasoning instead of 3 tbspns.

Oops. Never mind Judy. Next time.
-
must make this it looks good.
-
I made this for dinner last night. Lovely recipe. I doubled the mixture as I had kids and a friend coming at short notice.
Served with salad and mixed some taco seasoning through butter to spread on a French stick to make Mexican bread.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Have posted the sliced picture to show how the layers worked.
-
Yummy. Michele.

-
Looks great Michele and I love the idea of the Mexican bread.
-
I liked it but had a divided table on the bread - about 50/50.
-
I like the bread idea too. Great photo Michele.
-
I made this last night. I really enjoyed it but there way too much mixture for my flan tin and it got a bit messy. :( The 'dough' mixture was very runny. Is this correct? ???
-
Yes it is den. Bit like a crepe batter. What size dish did you use?
-
Thanks Kimmy, made this today and the taco seasoning. DH loved it.
-
I didn't measure it Kimmyh but it was pretty close to 24cm. It is a flan or tart pan wit fluted edges and a removable base.
-
I know the one you mean den and it's probably not deep enough. I use a ceramic flan dish that is almost an inch deep and much deeper than my quiche tin which has the removable base. Maybe you could halve the mixture next time to suit your tin or make two?
