Beef Burrito

One of my favourite cuisines is Mexican and this is an infusion of Texas and Mexican called Texmex. Been meaning to do Mexican food on this blog. Been to the country before and I loved it. Such a place with a rich heritage and culture. I hope you all love the recipe as much as I did eating it.

Makes 8 Burritos

500g Mince Beef

1 Red Pepper, diced

1 Onion, diced

2 Cloves Garlic, crushed

Can of Kidney Beans (400g)

Cna of Chopped Tomatoes (400g)

Dash Worcestershire Sauce (making it less authentic but adds a twist to the flavour)

Can of Refried Beans

Lettuce, shredded

8 Flour Tortillas

Coriander

Red Leicester or Double Gloucester, grated

1 tsp Cumin

1 tsp Cayenne Pepper

1 tsp Chilli Powder

1 tsp Paprika

1. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Add the onion and garlic. Fry until the onions have soften then add the peppers and fry for a couple of minutes.

2. Add the mince beef to the pan and cook until browned. Add the spices and give a stir. Then add the red kidney beans, chopped tomatoes and Worcestershire Sauce. Then reduce the heat and leave to reduce for 15-20 minutes. 

3. While the beef is cooking, warm the refried beans on the hob. 

4. To construct the burrito take a tortilla, add the lettuce, 1/2 tbsp of refried beans and 1-2 serving spoons of the beef mix (there is enough for 8). Then wrap the burrito and put the grated cheese on top and put under grill for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with Jalapenos and the Coriander. Then add the sour cream and guacamole on the side.
