- Brush the wraps lightly with oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and place on oven trays.
- Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes or until crisp, turning over once. Break them into big chips.
- To make salsa, combine the ingredients gently in a bowl just before serving and season with salt and pepper.
- Place chips onto plates and top with the mince. Add a spoonful of salsa, a dollop of sour cream and fresh coriander.

My family love this recipe. It is always a hit! I drop my son Max off to football and can make this recipe and have the kitchen clean by the time I pick him up. A hump day favourite
