## Dietary Information
This recipe is: Nut-Free

## Ingredients (5 servings)
- 500 g ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Mexican seasoning (Just Flavour Co brand)
- 400 g diced Italian tomatoes (canned, undrained)
- 400 g red kidney beans (canned, drained)
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 10 count wholemeal tortillas (Helga's Traditional Wholemeal brand)
- 1.5 cups shredded cheese
- 2 medium avocados (diced)
- 2 medium tomatoes (diced)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 whole lime (for wedges, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

## Instructions
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 500g of ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of Mexican seasoning, 400g of diced Italian tomatoes (undrained), 400g of drained red kidney beans, and 1 cup (165g) of corn kernels. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
3. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Take one wholemeal tortilla and spoon approximately 1/2 cup of the beef mixture onto the center. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a large baking dish. Repeat with the remaining 9 tortillas and beef mixture.
4. Evenly sprinkle 1.5 cups (150g) of shredded cheese over the rolled enchiladas in the baking dish.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
6. While enchiladas are baking, prepare the topping: dice 2 medium avocados and 2 medium tomatoes.
7. Once baked, remove the enchiladas from the oven and top generously with the diced avocado and diced tomato.
8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges before serving.
