Easy beef burritos served on tortillas

2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 onion
finely chopped
4 garlic cloves
very finely chopped
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground coriander
small pinch of cayenne pepper
(more if you want it spicier)
1 tsp dried oregano
500g beef mince
pinch of golden caster sugar
1 tbsp wine vinegar
or cider vinegar
400g can chopped tomatoes
400g can black beans
or kidney beans, with the can water
8 flour or corn tortillas
500g cooked rice
or our Mexican tomato rice (see recipe below right)
a selection of sliced avocado
or guacamole, chopped tomatoes, soured cream, shredded lettuce, sliced red onion, grated cheddar, sliced red chilli and lime halves, to serve

Method

step 1
Heat the oil in a large pan – a casserole is ideal. Fry the onions for 8 mins, then add the garlic, spices and oregano and cook for 1 min. Crumble over the mince and sizzle for 5 mins, stirring, until browned. Stir in the sugar and leave for a minute, then splash in the vinegar and pour in the tomatoes.
step 2
Simmer for 5 mins then tip in the beans and the water from the can. Season, stir and simmer everything for 20 mins until the beef is in a thick gravy. The sauce can be prepared up to 2 days ahead, chilled and reheated with a splash of water or frozen for 6 months.
step 3
To make the burritos, heat the tortillas following pack instructions. Pile some rice and beef sauce along each tortilla and scatter over your choice of topping. Fold over the ends and roll up to seal. Secure by wrapping with foil if you want. Eat immediately.
