Cheesy Beef Burritos With Lime Mayo

Warm tortillas are sold throughout Mexico like nothing else. Gracing the dusty streets, they are made then and there in a rough and ready manner, to be filled with ground beef, rice, salad and lime. The tortillas are smaller than the ones we are used to, for the sole reason of managability, and to be eaten on the go.

Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 portion recipe.

1.

Add the rice and 150ml [300ml] water to a pot with a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once cooked, remove from the heat and keep covered until serving

Step 1
2.

Peel and finely dice the onion[s] 

Heat a large, wide-based pan with a matching lid (preferably non-stick) with a large drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat

Once hot, add the onion, cover with a lid and cook for 5-10 min or until beginning to soften and brown slightly

Step 2
3.

Meanwhile, zest the lime[s], (try to grate lightly with a micro-plane or sharp box grater and avoid grating the white pith, as this is very bitter!)

Roll the lime[s] with your hand on a hard surface (to release more juice!) and cut in half

Dice the tomatoe[s] finely

Step 3
4.

Add the beef mince to the softened onion

Add the cumin and chipotle paste to the pan and cook for 5-7 min, breaking the mince up as you go, until browned and cooked through 

Once done, remove from the heat, cover with a lid and set aside to keep warm until serving

Step 4
5.

Meanwhile, warm the tortillas by placing them over the rice, once it has cooked (they only need a few min to warm through)

Grate the cheddar cheese

Cut the little gem[s] in half then shred finely

Step 5
6.

Combine the lime zest and the juice from the lime[s] with the mayonnaise

Add a small pinch of salt and pepper then mix thoroughly - this is your lime mayonnaise

Step 6
7.

Remove the warmed tortillas from the rice and fluff the cooked rice with a fork, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper

Step 7
8.

Serve the tortillas, beef, tomatoes, lettuce and cheese on a large platter 

Assemble your own tacos and drizzle with the lime mayo 

Enjoy!
