# Instructions:
01 -
Cook garlic and onion in hot oil until they smell amazing and look golden. Add the ground beef and cook until it’s browned through. Stir in the spices, tomato paste, and water, then simmer until saucy but not dry. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
02 -
Heat up the tortillas if needed—use the package directions if they need it before assembling.
03 -
Add a scoop of rice just below the tortilla’s center, followed by beef, lettuce, corn, beans, onion, tomato, cilantro (if used), and cheese.
04 -
Fold the bottom of the tortilla over the filling, tuck in both sides, and roll it up snugly. Wrap completely in foil.
05 -
You can fry them in foil on a hot pan for a few minutes each side or bake at 180C/350F for about 20 minutes until warmed through and crispy outside.
