Mexican Canneloni

Thanks again Sue for passing on another great recipe idea.  This time a friend of hers shared her mexican canneloni recipe.  I made it today and it is almost identical to the burritos I often make, only with mince instead of chicken.  I think it probably works out cheaper though as I usually buy a burrito "kit" which no doubt is probably an expensive way to do it.  I increased the quantities and added a couple of finely chopped veges to mine, always trying to get the kids to digest them by stealth measures.

• 500g (ish) mince
• 1 small onion finely chopped
• half a dozen mushrooms finely chopped
• 4 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
• Just under a cup of water
• Packet of small wraps
• Jar of mild salsa sauce/dip
• 1 cup grated cheese

1. Preheat oven
2. Brown the mince in a large frying pan and combine onion and mushroom
3. Dissolve taco mix in water and add mixture to pan, simmering until the mince has a slightly saucy consistency (but not too runny)
4. Spray a large baking dish with olive oil spray and assemble the mince mixture evenly in the wraps, rolling them up to look like a burrito/canneloni
5. Line the rolled and filled wraps in the baking dish
6. Spread out the salsa over the wraps
7. Sprinkle the cheese over evenly
8. Bake for about 20 minutes

I put mine in containers and into the freezer for later in the week, but will serve with rice and salad.

Interestingly, someone mentioned to me the other day that they make their lasagne with the same type of wraps instead of lasagne sheets, I am definitely going to have to try that out.
