- 1 x 470g jar approx prepared cheese sauce (chilled tubs are good too)
- 50g grated hard cheese. e.g Cheddar

Method
- To prepare the Bolognese sauce; place all the sauce ingredients in a large pan, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan and dry fry the mince in batches for 5-7 minutes, breaking up any lumps with the back of a spoon. Add the onions and vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir the sauce into the mince, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and cook for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C,200°C Fan, Gas Mark 7. Spoon half the Bolognese mixture in the base of a 25cm square ovenproof dish. Cover with a layer of tortillas or wraps then repeat the method. Top with an even layer of cheese sauce, sprinkle with the cheese and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Serve with mixed salad and garlic bread.
As an alternative, if preferred, replace the corn tortillas or wraps with fresh or no cook lasagne sheets and cook at 190°C, 170°C Fan, Gas Mark 5 for 20 minutes.
