Beef and bean burritos
Background
These beef and bean burritos are perfect for parties and weekend get-togethers. You can make the filling well ahead and keep refrigerated until the event. You can make it with stewing beef too - but then you’ll need to cook the stew for much longer. Serve it with salsa, guacamole or sour cream on the side.
Ingredients
- 1 red onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 300g beef steak
- 1 Tbsps olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp chipotle or tomato paste
- ½ bell pepper
- 1 tin black beans, drained
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 100g green beans
- 1 corn on the cob, grilled
- To serve:
- Tortilla wraps ( corn or wheat)
- Jarred Jalapeño pepper, sliced
- Chopped Parsley or coriander
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion and garlic.
- Cut the beef into thin strips or small cubes. Chop the bell pepper & tomatoes into tiny pieces. Cut the green beans into 1cm pieces.
- Heat the oil in a heavy based pan and gently soften the onion. Add the garlic and beef, stir until the meet has changed colour. Add the spices, stir, then add the paste, bell pepper & tomato pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water, put the lid on and bring to the boil. Cook for 20 minutes until you get a sticky mixture.
- Meanwhile grill or char the corn, cool then remove the kernels with a sharp knife. Set the kernels aside. Drain the beans.
- When the stew is thick and silky, stir in both beans and corn kernels. Put the lid on and heat through while you warm up the tortilla wraps for a minute on both sides.
- Spoon some beef & bean mixture in the middle of the tortilla, add some salsa, fresh herbs, guacamole, grated cheese or sour cream and few slices of Jalapeño pepper. You can drizzle some chilli sauce over it too, if you like the heat!
- Create an envelope and then wrap it tightly, then cut it in half.
- Serve warm.
