Method

To make filling, heat an oiled, large, non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring for 3 minutes, or until onion is soft. Add beef. Cook, breaking up mince, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until browned. Stir in flour and spice mix.
2. Add salsa, sauce and ¾ cup water. Bring to boil. Reduce heat. Gently boil, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in coriander. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl. Cool slightly.
3. Using the pie maker cutter, cut 12 rounds (10.5cm) from pastry sheets.
4. Spray a 4-hole (¹/³-cup capacity) pie maker with oil. Lightly press four pastry rounds into holes. Spoon a ¼ cup filling into each case. Sprinkle with cheese. Cut each tortilla into six wedges. Arrange two tortilla wedges over cheese. Close lid.
5. Cook pies for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until tops are golden. Remove pies. Repeat with remaining pastry rounds, filling, cheese and tortilla wedges to make 12 pies in total.
6. Serve with guacamole, sriracha and lime wedges. Garnish with coriander.
