Method;

Put the minced beef in a pan, cover with water and bring to the boil to get rid of any excess fat.

After it has boiled drain it off and smash the mince up with a wooden spoon to get rid of any lumps.

Add the red wine to the minced beef, stir and simmer on a low heat for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes heat a little olive oil in a pan and add the onion, red chilli, garlic and ginger.

Cook on a medium heat until sweated down and the onion becomes transparent. 

Then add the paprika, cumin, chilli powder and coriander then cook for a further 2 or3 minutes while stirring.

Make a cone with a tortilla and fill it with the gorgeous mixture.
