Notes
To make this recipe vegetarian, swap mince with red kidney beans/ black beans. You can get gluten free corn tortillas from health food stores or check the labels at your local store. Look for ones without preservatives. Or you can swap soft shell wraps for lettuce cups. To make this recipe go further you can also add canned red kidney/ black beans.
