Ingredients
- 4 large tortillas (8 to 10 inch)
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 250g grated cheese
- Spring onion, thinly sliced
Beef mix:
- 500g beef mince
- ½ onion, diced
- ⅓ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp chilli powder
- ⅓ tsp ground cumin
- 1 clove crushed garlic
- 3 tbsp ketchup
Scrambled eggs:
- 6 eggs
- ½ tbsp butter
- ½ tbsp cream cheese
Method
-
Heat oil in a medium pan then fry onions until golden. Add the beef mince and garlic and fry on medium heat till meat is browned.
-
Add the remaining beef mix ingredients and cook covered on low heat for around 20 minutes.
-
When the beef mixture is almost ready, beat the eggs and cream cheese in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
-
Melt the butter in a non-stick pan on medium to low heat then add the egg mixture. Cook the eggs slowly, mixing constantly until golden and still a bit runny. Take out of the pan.
To assemble the burrito:
-
Soften the tortilla by placing it on a hot pan for a few seconds.
-
Lay tortilla flat and layer cheese, meat, scrambled egg mixture, tomatoes and spring onions.
-
Wrap the tortilla and place on a medium hot pan to seal the edges and toast all sides.
Tips:
- A sandwich press is a great alternative to seal your burrito, saving the sometimes awkward ‘burrito flip’ in the pan.
- Pimp your burrito by adding some fresh guacamole, sour cream or baby spinach.
