METHOD

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan forced. Spray four holes of
six-hole (¾ cup/180ml) texas muffin pan with oil.

Push tortillas carefully into pan holes; bake about 15 minutes or
until crisp. Cool in pan.

Heat half the oil in large frying pan; cook beef, in batches, over
high heat, until browned.

Heat remaining oil in same pan; cook onion, capsicums, garlic
and spices, stirring, until onion softens.

Return beef to pan with undrained tomatoes, stock and oregano; simmer, uncovered, about 1 hour or until sauce thickens and is reduced by half.

Add beans; stir until heated through.

Meanwhile, make avocado salsa.

Divide beef mixture among tortilla cups; top with cheese. Bake
about 5 minutes or until cheese melts.
