Ingredients

  • 1 Low-carb tortillas
  • 170 g Beef sirloin
  • 1½ tbsp Olive oil
  • 40 g Monterey Jack (optional)
  • 80 g Bell pepper (optional)
  • ½ tsp Black pepper (optional)

Method

  1. Slice the sirloin against the grain as thinly as you can keep the knife steady for — the thinner it goes, the less time it needs in the pan. Cut the pepper into narrow strips and grind the black pepper over the meat.
  2. Heat two thirds of the olive oil in a wide pan until it ripples, then fry the pepper strips hard for four minutes until they slump and blacken at the edges.
  3. Throw the beef in and keep it moving with two spatulas, chopping through it as you go, for barely two minutes: it is done the moment the last of the red disappears.
  4. Kill the heat, lay the Monterey Jack in a sheet over the meat and peppers and cover the pan for a minute so it melts into the filling rather than onto the plate.
  5. While the cheese is going soft, warm the low-carb tortilla in a dry pan for thirty seconds a side so it will fold instead of splitting.
  6. Heap the cheesy beef along the lower third of the warm tortilla, fold both ends over it and roll it into a tight parcel with the seam underneath.
  7. Wipe the pan out, add the last of the olive oil and press the parcel seam-side down for two minutes, then turn it and give the other face the same, until it is crisp enough to hold itself shut.
  8. Cut it across the middle and stand the two halves upright so the cheese stays where it is.
