Crumble over the mince and sizzle for 5 mins, stirring, until browned. Stir in the sugar and leave for a minute, then splash in the vinegar and pour in the tomatoes.
• Simmer for 5 mins then tip in the beans and the water from the can. Season, stir and simmer everything for 20 mins until the beef is in a thick gravy. The sauce can be prepared up to 2 days ahead, chilled and reheated with a splash of water or frozen for 6 months.

• sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Place in a warm oven 200-250F approx 10-15 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
• Serve with extra salsa and sour cream.
