Nacho beef burritos — big, bold and unapologetically messy in the best possible way. Stuffed with spiced beef, melty cheese and all the crunchy, saucy extras, they’re comfort food you can wrap up and devour with both hands.

Ingredients

For the burritos (big flavours, no holding back):

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 500g lean beef mince (5% fat)

  • 2 tbsp fajita seasoning

  • 1 red pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced

  • ½ red onion, finely chopped

  • 1 tomato, finely chopped

  • 1 avocado, peeled, stoned and finely chopped

  • Small handful fresh coriander, finely chopped

  • ½ Little Gem lettuce, finely shredded

  • Juice of 1–2 limes

  • 2 tbsp soured cream

  • 4 large flour tortilla wraps

  • 35g cheddar, grated

  • 2 generous handfuls tortilla chips

  • Pinch of salt

  • Hot sauce, to serve

Method

Time to wrap things up (literally):

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium–high heat. Add the mince and cook for 3–4 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and sizzling.

Stir in the fajita seasoning, red pepper and a splash of water. Cook until the pepper softens slightly, then take the pan off the heat and set aside.

In a bowl, mix together the onion, tomato, avocado, coriander and lettuce. Squeeze over the lime juice, add a pinch of salt, and toss to combine. Fresh, crunchy, sorted.

Lay out the tortillas and spread 1 tablespoon of soured cream over each. Sprinkle with cheese, add a few spoonfuls of the lettuce mixture, then pile on the warm, spiced beef.

Finish with a good crumble of tortilla chips, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly into burritos, keeping everything tucked in and secure.

Heat a dry frying pan and toast the burritos on all sides until crisp and golden. Serve hot, with plenty of hot sauce — and maybe a napkin or two.
