Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Press each tortilla into an ovenproof bowl to form a cup shape and bake for 10 minutes until crisp and golden, then set aside to cool.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and cook the beef mince, breaking it up, until well browned and a meat thermometer reads at least 71°C, about 8 minutes.
Stir in the chilli powder, ground cumin and salt and cook for 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
Warm the black beans through in a small saucepan over low heat for 3 minutes.
Fill each tortilla bowl with shredded lettuce, the beef, black beans, cherry tomatoes and cheddar.
Top with sour cream and salsa before serving.
