Method

step 1
Heat a splash of oil in a large-lidded saucepan over a medium-low heat. Pat the beef (1 pack) dry, then add to the pan and sear for 5-7 minutes (turning over to sear each side).
step 2
Add the onions (1) and garlic (3 cloves) and cook for a couple of minutes. Then add the chipotle paste (1/2 jar), hot sauce (1 tbsp) and chilli flakes (1/2 tsp). Pour over the beef stock (1 pouch) then season with a bit of salt and pepper. Bring this to a boil, cover with a lid and then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook this on a low heat for 3 hours.
step 3
After 3 hours, remove the onions and garlic with a slotted spoon with some extra liquid and transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth and then add back to pot and stir.
step 4
Remove the beef and place in a bowl, pull the meat apart with two forks and shred. Set aside until you are ready to assemble the tacos. Bring the sauce in the pan back up to the boil and season to taste and leave to boil for a further 5 minutes.
step 5
After 5 minutes, coat 2 of the wraps (1 pack) in the sauce on both sides.
step 6
Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat.
step 7
Add the tacos to the pan with a sprinkling of grated mozzarella (150 g), top with some of the shredded beef, chopped onion (1) and coriander (2 handfuls). Fold in half and cook until the cheese has melted, turning halfway. Keep the tacos warm and repeat until you have cooked all of the wraps.
step 8
Serve with wedges of lime (1), jalapeños (2 tbsp), extra coriander and the excess sauce for dipping.
