Ground beef tortillas are the perfect way to get your family into the kitchen! Get your kids to help by assembling their own tortillas. Tasty ground beef is also a great way to sneak vegetables like kale and carrot into the meal. This is a light meal so if you think you need more food consider adding a side of homemade potato fries.

USA Buckwheat groats make a great replacement for high FODMAP beans, which are used in more traditional ground beef mixtures. These groats give the ground beef a lovely nutty hint of flavour. Corn tortillas have been tested and are low FODMAP – you can safely enjoy 2-3 tortillas per meal.

Method

  1. Prepare the vegetables. Grate the carrots and finely shred the kale. Finely chop the green spring onion tips. Roughly chop the fresh coriander. Place the coriander and spring onion tips to one side for later.

  2. Heat a large frypan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic infused oil. Fry the ground beef (mince) until brown. Then add the beef stock, canned tomatoes, kale, carrots, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, and Worcestershire sauce. Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well. Reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. While the ground beef cooks, cook the buckwheat. Measure out the buckwheat groats and place in a small saucepan (make sure it has a lid). Add ⅔ cup (170ml) of cold water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to the boil. Then turn down the heat to medium-low, cover, and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Check that the buckwheat is soft, then drain and rinse in warm water. Drain again.

  4. While the buckwheat and ground beef finish cooking, make the salad. Wash and shred the lettuce, deseed and dice the red capsicum, peel and thinly slice the cucumber.  Grate the cheese if using.

  5. Once the buckwheat is cooked, you can mix it through the ground beef mixture. Just before serving mix through the fresh coriander and the green spring onion tips. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.

  6. Warm the corn tortillas according to packet directions.

  7. Serve the ground beef in the tortillas with the salad. Add a serve of low FODMAP cheese, lactose free mayonnaise or garlic infused mayonnaise for extra flavour. Enjoy!
