Instructions

Prep
1
  • Core, then finely chop jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)
  • Remove any damaged outer leaves of the lettuce, then cut in half.
  • Separate half the lettuce leaves (all the leaves for 4 ppl) from the core. Set aside.
  • Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Thinly slice green onion.


Cook beef
2
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef.
  • Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
  • Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
Flavour beef
3
  • Add Tex-Mex paste and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water to the beef. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove from heat.
Make salsa
4
  • Meanwhile, add vinegar, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
  • Add tomatoes, jalapeños and green onions to the bowl with dressing, then toss to combine.
Finish and serve
5
  • Divide lettuce leaves between plates, then fill with beef mixture. (TIP: Double up on the lettuce leaves for a studier wrap, if desired). Top with tomato-jalapeño salsa.
  • Drizzle with chipotle sauce.
  • Sprinkle cheese and crispy shallots over top.
