Tortillas

By Philippe Laruelle

Ingredients

Serves 4

Tortillas

  • 50 g T55 white flour
  • 50 g cornflour
  • 80 g water
  • 3 cl peanut oil
  • 5 g fine salt

Barbacoa (pulled beef)

  • 1.2 kg chuck steak
  • 500 g Ketchup
  • 1 large red onion
  • 150 g honey
  • 15 g paprika
  • 20 cl meat jus or base
  • Oil
  • Salt and pepper (from the mill)
  • Optional : chilli paste or tabasco

Finition

  • 1 avocado
  • 1/2 bunch of fresh coriander
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 2 mini red peppers or fresh chilli
  • 1 lime

Instructions

Make the tortillas:

Mix the flours and salt.

Boil the water and oil, and pour on the flours.

Knead to form a smooth and even dough.

Cover with a cloth and leave to rest for 30 mins at room temperature.

Divide into 4 equal pieces.

Roll out into even patties around 2mm thick.

 Cook in a hot pan (no fat) for around 1 min on each side. The tortillas should be golden on each side.

Move them to a plate and cover with another plate to stop them drying out. 

 

Make the barbacoa:

Finely chop the red onion and mix with the ketchup, paprika, honey, salt and pepper.

Season and colour the chuck steak on each side with a little oil.

Add the base (or jus) and the red onion mix.

Boil, cover and put in an oven at 150°C.

Cook for 3 to 5 hours depending on the meat’s quality and thickness.

Take out the meat and shred it while hot.

Reduce the sauce if necessary: it should be syrupy.

Add the chilli if desired.

Mix your meat and adjust the seasoning.

 

Finish:

Peel and chop your avocado into chunks. Squeeze on a little lime juice.

Chop the red onion and coriander.

Cut the red peppers into thin slices.

Place all the elements on your tortillas, with lime quarters on top.
