Preparation time: 25 minutes

Cooking time: 15 minutes

Heat 2 teaspoons of the rapeseed oil in a non-stick saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add beef; cook for 2–3 minutes or until sealed all over, stirring frequently. Add chilli powder and cumin; cook for 1 minute, stirring. Remove beef from pan to a plate using slotted spoon.
Add red onion, red pepper and remaining oil to pan; stir-fry over a medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes. Add tomatoes, beans and sealed beef to pan; bubble over a medium heat for 4–5 minutes or until vegetables and beef are cooked and piping hot, stirring regularly.
Meanwhile, warm tortillas according to packet instructions.
To serve, divide beef mixture evenly between warm tortillas; top each with a little yoghurt, if using. Fold or roll up; serve immediately with rocket or mixed salad leaves.

Cook's Tips

Skinless, boneless chicken or turkey thigh meat or lean pork can be substituted for the beef. Swap the red pepper for a yellow or orange pepper. Try using Quorn (mycoprotein) or tofu instead of beef.
