Method
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and cook the onion for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the garlic and beef mince and cook, breaking it up, until well browned and a meat thermometer reads at least 71°C, about 8 minutes.
Stir in the ground cumin and 1 tablespoon of the chilli powder and cook for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and set aside.
In a saucepan, whisk the remaining chilli powder and the plain flour into a little of the vegetable stock to form a smooth paste.
Whisk in the chopped tomatoes and remaining stock and simmer for 8 minutes until thickened into a sauce, then season with salt.
Warm the corn tortillas for 20 seconds on each side to make them pliable, then fill each with the beef mixture and roll tightly.
Arrange the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a baking dish, pour over the chilli sauce and scatter with the cheddar.
Bake at 200°C for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
