Leftover roast – Mexican flavored – tortillas

Basically you can add what ever you want in a tortilla. This is yet another recipe meant for inspiration. Often we do tortillas with either beef, lamb or chicken…but as a rule, we only have tortillas when I have some left over meat of some sort. In this one, I used the remaining part of a roast…sliced it, turned it over in a rub, fried it and used it as the base of tortillas.

Ingredients

Warm Tortillas (this portion made enough filling for 10)

Beef:

450 g beef

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp oregano

1 tsp cumin

Oil

salt and pepper to taste

Guacemole:

2 ripe avocados

1 good handful fresh cilantro

2 cloves minced garlic

juice of 1/2 freshly squeezed lemon

1/2 tsp salt

Suggestions to other fillings:

Finely sliced salad

1/2 red capsicum finely sliced

1/2 green capsicum finely sliced

1/2 cucumber finely sliced

12 chopped cherry tomatoes

sour cream

grated cheese, – I prefer a mix of cheddar and emmenthal

Method

Beef:

Cut the meat you have in slices. Mix the dry ingredients. Mix the meat and the dry ingredients. Add a bit of oil to a frying pan and fry the meat rubbed in the spices until warm…approximately 10 minutes.

Guacamole:

Rinse the cilantro. Peel the avocado and chop it. Add it to a bowl with minced garlic. Add the lemon juice. Salt and pepper. Process/blend. To make the guacamole less creamy, – leave a bit of the avocado, chop it up with a knife and mix it with the blended avocado mix.

Other fillings:

Rinse and slice and serve together with the beef and the guacamole.
