Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 cup crème fraîche reduced fat
- 3 oz mild cheddar shredded
- ½ cup jalapeño peppers drained and finely chopped
- ⅔ oz chives finely chopped
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 280°F (140°C) if fan, or 320°F (160°C).
- Cut each of your tortillas into one-third slices from the centre, like a pizza or pie chart. Heat them in the microwave just for a minute to warm them up. In the meantime, put a sheet of baking/parchment paper on a baking tray.
- Roll each into a cone shape (try to be quick before they cool too much and set). Place the side with the loose edges down on the baking paper so that when they cook they won’t spring open. You might need you to pinch them slightly to properly seal them and prevent them from springing open.
- Bake them for 20-25 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool.
- Mix the cheese, jalapenos, chives and creme fraiche together. Spoon the filling into the cones equally, and then scatter with any remaining chive that you have. Serve!
