Recipe: Beef and Bean Burrito

Serves: 4

Ingredients

For the tortillas

• 100g/3½oz plain flour, plus extra for dusting
• 100g/3½oz plain wholemeal flour
• Pinch of pink Himalayan salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the beef

• ½ red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 red pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons Regency Tacos Seasoning
• 2 sirloin steaks (approximately 200g/7oz each), fat removed and cut into bite-sized pieces or strips
• ½ tablespoon olive oil

For the beans

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 5g garlic flakes
• 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
• 1 x 400g/14oz tin black beans, partially drained

To serve

• 1 small iceberg lettuce, shredded

Preparation method

1. Put both flours into a mixing bowl. Add the salt, olive oil and 2 tablespoons of water.
2. Mix with your hands to form a dough. Add a little more water if the mixture is too dry.
3. Knead in the bowl for 1 minute until smooth and elastic, then set aside to rest for 5–10 minutes.
4. Lightly dust a work surface with flour.
5. Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a very thin circle using a floured rolling pin.
6. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the tortillas individually in the dry pan for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until lightly golden brown.
7. For the beef, combine the onion, red pepper, Tacos Seasoning, steak and olive oil in a bowl. Stir until the steak is evenly coated. For deeper flavour, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours.
8. Heat a frying pan over high heat. Add the beef mixture and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the beef is browned all over.
9. Transfer the beef to a plate and let it rest while you cook the black beans.
10. Add the oil to the same pan. Add the garlic flakes and cumin seeds, then cook over medium heat for 2 minutes until aromatic.
11. Add the black beans and mix well. Lightly crush the beans with the back of a wooden spoon as they heat through. Once hot, remove from the heat.
12. Spread some beans over each tortilla and top with the beef. Add a scattering of lettuce, roll up and serve immediately.
