Beef and Corn Tortillas

with Crunchy Pepper and Crème Fraîche

The sauce for this recipe is flavoured with Mexican chipotle, made by taking ripe jalapeño chillies and smoking them for several days until they’re dry. It takes around 5kg of chillies to produce just 1/2kilo of chipotle, so it’s potent stuff! As tasty as it is quick, this recipe is a sure-fire body booster!

Instructions

Chop your onions
1

Peel and finely chop your red onion. Keep 1 tbsp of red onion to the side for garnish. Remove the core from the pepper and chop into tiny squares (less than 1cm). Drain and thoroughly rinse your black beans and sweetcorn.

2

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Cook the onion and all but 1 tbsp of the red pepper. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper.

Brown your beef
3

In a separate frying pan, heat 2 tsp of oil on high heat. Once hot, add in the beef and break it up with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper and cook until all the meat is brown. Tip: Cook in batches if you only have a small pan for better browning.

4

Add the beef into the onion mixture along with the tomato purée. Add in the chipotle paste. Tip: The amount you add depends on how spicy you like things! Tip: Add a couple of tbsp of water if needed to loosen up the sauce.

Add your beans and sweetcorn into the pan
5

Put the tortillas in the oven at 100 degrees for a few mins to warm up. Stir the drained and rinsed black beans and sweetcorn into the meat. Toss for a minute and then turn off the heat.

squeeze in your lime
6

Stir the remaining raw red pepper through the mixture. Squeeze over the juice of half the lime. Tip: Rolling the lime firmly between your hand and the chopping board before you cut it in half, means you’ll get more juice out of it.

7

Portion your Mexican mixture on the soft tortillas, roll up and serve with a dollop of crème fraîche on the side, sprinkled with a bit of your red onion.
