4 large baking potatoes (we used sebago), scrubbed
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
200g pork mince
200g Woolworths Beef Mince
1 onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp paprika
1 pinch cinnamon
1 bunch coriander, stalks finely chopped, leaves reserved
1 tbs tomato paste (we used Mutti double concentrated tomato paste)
2 chipotle chillies in adobo sauce, finely chopped
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
400g can kidney beans, rinsed, drained
Sour cream, to serve
Finely grated parmesan, to serve
Sliced fresh jalapenos, to serve
Lime wedges, to serve

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Prick potatoes all over with a fork and place on prepared tray. Season with salt flakes. Bake for 1 hour or until tender.
2.

Heat oil in a frypan over medium-high heat. Add mince and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Return pan to medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until onion is softened. Add cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, coriander stalks and tomato paste. Cook for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add chipotle chilli and sauce, mince and tomato. Simmer gently for 10 minutes until reduced, adding beans in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Season.
3.

Tear potatoes in half and top with mince mixture, sour cream, finely grated parmesan, jalapenos and reserved coriander leaves. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
