A super fun twist on the classic lasagne, by using tortilla stand up shells. Found in the Mexican section of your supermarket, they're the perfect size for an individual lasagne situation. Loaded with iron rich beef mince, lentils and a creamy cottage cheese sauce, kids and adults alike will love these!
Air fry them or bake them in the oven, they're a great midweek meal to keep the whole family happy.
Pro tip: Make double of the mince mixture and keep it in the freezer for an easy future meal.
