Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced)
  2. Coat steak in Burrito spice mix. Heat a little olive oil in an ovenproof pan over medium heat. Cook beef on both sides for 1 minute to seal in juices. Remove from heat. Add vinegar. Place bay leaves, lime and tomato slices on top of the beef and add enough water to allow approximately 1 cm liquid in the base of the pan. Cover with a layer of baking paper and the lid to minimise evaporation and cook in the oven for 2 hours. Remove from oven. Before serving, use 2 forks to pull the beef into bite sized chunks. Stir to coat with pan juices.
  3. Toss chickpeas with olive oil, garlic and paprika. Place on an oven tray and roast for 30 minutes.
  4. Cook chicken stock and jalapeno in a covered pan on low heat for 10 minutes. Cool slightly, add coriander and process in a blender. To create hot green stock, strain into a bowl and use a spatula to push some of the flavoursome green pulp through the strainer.
  5. Heat oil in a medium size pan, cook onion and rice for 5 minutes, stirring. Add garlic, cook for an extra minute. Add hot green chicken stock and stir. Cover tightly with a lid and cook on low heat for 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Keep covered and stand for 10 minutes. Add chickpeas to rice and fluff rice with a fork.
  6. Heat a little olive oil with the garlic in a frying pan, add kale and toss through to wilt slightly.
  7. Stir coriander through crème fraiche.
  8. For pan toasted Tortillas: heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and brown each Tortilla for 10 seconds on one side only. Wrap in a tea towel until ready to serve.
  9. Build your own burrito with tender chunks of slow cooked beef, green rice with roasted chickpeas, garlic kale, coriander crema and Mild Mexican Salsa.
