Taco Ragu Sauce (Makes 3 servings)- 30g finely diced onion
- 10g finely diced celery
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 100g ground beef
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 150ml tomato sauce
- Paprika powder, to taste
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by making the Taco Ragu Sauce. Finely dice the onion and celery. Finely chopping the vegetables like this will significantly enhance the sauce’s flavor.
Step 2
Heat a little cooking oil in a deep pan or pot. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, then add the diced onion and celery. Sauté over medium-low heat until the vegetables become translucent. Softening the vegetables will bring out their natural sweetness.
Step 3
Once the onions are translucent, add the ground beef, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Break up the meat clumps and sauté until the beef is no longer pink and is nicely browned. Cooking the beef thoroughly is key.
Step 4
To the browned beef, add the tomato sauce, paprika powder, and crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat, adjusting to your preference. Stir everything together over medium-low heat and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce is thick. This process concentrates the flavors, resulting in a richer taste.
Step 5
Now, let’s prepare the Sriracha Mayo Sauce. In a bowl, combine the sour cream, Sriracha sauce, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Whisk until all ingredients are smoothly incorporated. The exotic aroma of cumin will further elevate the taco flavors.
Step 6
Warm the tortillas slightly. Spread a generous amount of the Sriracha Mayo Sauce onto each tortilla. Then, carefully spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the prepared Taco Ragu Sauce onto the sauce layer.
Step 7
On top of the ragu sauce, pile on fresh lettuce leaves. If desired, sprinkle some shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese over the lettuce. The crunchiness of the lettuce and the creaminess of the cheese create a wonderful harmony of flavors.
Step 8
Now, carefully wrap the tortilla like a burrito, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed. Tightly rolling it will prevent the ingredients from falling out. Finally, heat a dry, non-stick skillet over medium heat and grill both sides of the wrap until golden brown and slightly crispy. This step warms the filling and toasts the tortilla beautifully. Serve immediately while warm for the best experience!
