To Assemble

Instructions
Lime and Cilantro Rice
- Place the rice, salt, and water into a large pot. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low and cover with a lid.
- Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from the heat without lifting the lid. Let sit for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- Mix in chopped cilantro, lime zest, and the juice of half the lime.
Maize’in Mexican Beans
- Heat a frypan over medium-high heat, add oil, and cook the onion for 4-5 minutes, stirring until softened.
- Sprinkle over Maize’in Mexican Rub and mix well.
- Add kidney beans and tomatoes, bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and let the sauce thicken.
- Season with salt and more Maize’in Mexican Rub to taste.
Sizzling Beef Strips
- Heat oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef strips in batches, allowing them to brown before turning. Each side should only take about a minute. Remove from the pan and repeat with the second batch.
Mexican Vegetable Mix
- Heat oil in a large frypan over high heat, then add the vegetables.
- Sprinkle over Maize’in Mexican Rub (add more for extra spice!) and cook, stirring until they soften and begin to colour.
- Season with a pinch of salt.
To Assemble
- Warm tortillas for 30 seconds in the microwave or in a hot pan until soft.
- Fill each tortilla with rice, vegetables, beans or sizzling beef, tomatoes, cucumber, and a squeeze of lime. Add cheese or your favourite dressings as desired.
Notes
Pro Tip: Double the recipe and make freezer-friendly burritos. Use extra-large tortillas and fold in the fillings completely. Wrap in tin foil and freeze. When ready to eat, heat in a sandwich press.
