Ingredients
CHIPOTLE MAYO
- 160 g whole-egg mayonnaise (can be substituted with Greek yoghurt or sour cream)
- 1 tbsp chipotle in adobo, finely chopped, including the sauce (can be substituted with ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, see note 1 for spice levels)
- 1 tbsp sriracha (can be substituted with ketchup)
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt flakes
BEEF
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 500 g minced (ground) beef
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tsp sweet paprika
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp sea salt flakes
- ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 125 ml water
WRAPS
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 125 g shredded cheddar
- 40 g slightly crushed corn chips
- 45 g shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Make the chipotle mayo – Combine the ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Cook the beef filling – Heat the olive oil in a large, deep heavy-based frying pan over medium–high heat. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
- Add the minced beef and cook for 5–6 minutes until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Add the tomato paste, sweet paprika, ground cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes.
- Add the water and cook for a further 2 minutes or until most of the water has evaporated.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly (this stops the wraps from going soggy).
- Assemble the wraps – Lay the tortillas on a cutting board. Using a knife, cut a line from the centre of the tortillas to the bottom edge that’s facing you.
- Add no ingredients to the bottom left corner (this makes it much easier to fold the wrap). Add a thin layer of the cooked beef to the top left corner and sprinkle with the crushed corn chips.
- Add some shredded lettuce and chipotle mayo sauce to the top right corner. Finally, add the cheese on the last, bottom right corner.
- Starting with the bottom left corner with no ingredients, fold it up over the top left. Now fold the top left over the top right corner. Finally, fold it down over the bottom right.
- To pan-fry – Heat a medium heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan, cheese- side down, heat for 2 minutes or until crispy and the cheese is melted. Flip and cook the other side for 30–60 seconds or until the outside is just crisp (this quick cooking stops the lettuce softening). Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Serve with the extra chipotle mayo on the side for dipping.
- To oven bake – Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) (200°C/400°F fan-forced). Place the assembled wraps on a lined baking tray, seam-side down. Lightly brush or spray the tops with olive oil to help them crisp up. Bake for 10–12 minutes, flipping them halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Serve – Serve immediately with extra chipotle mayo for dipping.
Notes
Note 1 – The chipotle mayo can be adjusted for heat. Start with 1 tablespoon of chipotle peppers and add more if you prefer a spicier sauce. If you prefer no spice, use ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika instead.
Make Ahead
Beef – The beef mixture can be made up to 2 days in advance. Stored refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat before assembling the wraps. Chipotle mayo – The mayo can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.Leftovers
Beef – Store any leftover beef mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave before using. Assembled wraps – Best made and eaten immediately. Leftover assembled wraps can be wrapped in foil and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. The corn chips may lose some of their crunch and the lettuce will soften. Not suitable to freeze.Recipe Source
