The Umami Bomb (Celtic Promise)

Beef Tortillas with Slaw

Method

1. Start by making the tortilla dough by combining all the dry ingredients in a bowl, then add the cold water. Using your fingers slowly bring the dough together, kneading it a few times until it's smooth. Cover with a tea towel and set aside for 30 mins.

2. Next make the slaw; finely chop the red cabbage, white cabbage, red onion and place in a bowl; then grate the carrot and mix all the vegetables together. Add the coriander finely chopped, lime juice, toasted sesame oil and give it a good mix then put on the table ready..

3. Next make the salsa; finely dice the tomatoes, pepper, chili and coriander and mix together with the lime juice and salt, then put on the table ready.

4. Wash the salad leaves and place on the table ready.

5. Next place the mince beef in a bowl, season to taste, mix; then split into 8 equal balls. Cover and set aside.

6. Finely slice the celtic promise and then set aside; aiming for 3 slices per wrap.

7. Now the dough has rested, lightly dust the surface with flour and roll the dough into a thick sausage. Using a sharp knife cut the dough into 8 equal balls.

8. Place a heavy bottom frying pan on the hob and heat over a medium heat.

• While this is coming up to temperature start rolling out the tortilla to the size slightly bigger than a side plate (aiming to be slightly less than 1 mm thick).

9. Once the first one is rolled out, place it in the hot pan (no oil needed) and cook it for 2 mins (or until it starts to colour) on one side then flip it onto the other for 1 min (tongs are good to stop you hurting your fingers). Once it's cooked, wrap it in a tea towel.

• While it's cooking, roll out the next one so you make a small production line.

• Once all the tortillas are cooked, clean the pan ready for the next step.

10. Either using your fingers directly or through a bit of baking parchment squish the raw beef onto the tortillas in a circle about 1 cm smaller than the actual tortilla making sure it's a thin even layer pressed down firmly..

11. Place the grill on high ready for the next step. Heat up the pan again, then add a tiny bit of oil then place the first wrap beef side down. It should take about 3/4 mins for the beef to cook. Then flip onto a tray using a fish slice (if you have one).

• Place 3 slices of celtic promise on the beef and finish under the grill for 1 minute to melt the cheese.

• Repeat until all the tortillas are topped - I tend to send them to the table as they are done but you could place them all on a tray in the oven on low if you prefer to have it all ready together.

Serve each wrap with a spoonful of salsa and a small bunch of green leaves on top, with a side of zingy slaw. You will need a napkin!!

TIP: You can prepare up to step 10 in advance! The night before for lunch or in the morning for dinner that night*

* Just make sure you put your wraps in the fridge once the beef is spread on. I normally put a bit of baking parchment between them and then pop them all in a tea towel but if you don't want to do this you could just stop at 9 as the beef doesn't take long!
