Meat mains
Beef and pepper chilli wraps
This Mexican-inspired burrito recipe is versatile and quick to prepare. The best way to serve it is to put the toppings and a pile of wraps on the table and let people choose their own fillings. Try adding diced aubergines, sliced mushrooms or even finely diced carrots.

- 2 tbsp oil for frying, e.g. vegetable or sunflower
- 1 onion, finely sliced
- 500g minced beef

- 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 1-2 red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped

Meanwhile warm the tortillas in the oven for a couple of minutes. Share some of the mixture between each wrap (place in the centre strip), with a little of the soured cream.

Fold one side of the wrap over, fold up the bottom and then the other side to make a parcel. Alternatively let everyone make their own wrap at the table.
