Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Medium.
- 2 large flour tortillas (about 30 cm)
- 1 cup (200 g) cooked white or brown rice
- 300 g chicken breast or beef strips
- 1 tbsp taco-style seasoning (cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic)
- 400 g tin black beans, drained
- 1 cup (120 g) grated tasty cheese
- ½ cup pico de gallo
- ½ cup guacamole
- 2 tbsp sour cream
Method
- Cook the protein in a hot pan with the seasoning until charred at the edges. Warm the beans.
- Warm each tortilla in a dry pan for 20 seconds per side so it folds without cracking.
- Down the centre of each tortilla, layer rice, beans, protein, cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream — keep fillings in the middle third.
- Fold the sides in, then roll tightly away from you, tucking as you go.
- Return seam-side down to the hot pan for 1 minute to seal and toast. Rest 1 minute, then cut in half.
