Prep time
10 mins
Ingredients
- Tomato: classic tomato salsa, to serve (see tip below)
- Cheddar: 85g strong cheddar, grated
- Tortilla: 300g pack corn tortilla
- Chive: 20g pack chive, finely chopped
- Creme Fraiche: 200ml pot reduced-fat creme fraiche
- Jalapeno Pepper: small handful jalapeno peppers, drained and finely chopped
Directions
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Cut the tortillas into thirds, like a pie chart, then microwave for 1 min until hot. Roll each piece into a cone shape, then put loose-end down onto a baking sheet so they can't spring open. Bake for 20-25 mins until crisp and golden. Cool. Will keep in an airtight container for 2 days.
- For the filling, mix the creme fraiche, cheese, jalapenos and most of the chives together. Up to 10 mins before serving, spoon the filling into the cones and scatter with the rest of the chives. Serve with tomato salsa for dipping.
