Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g (1 lb) ground beef (80/20)
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
- 2 tsp (4 g) chili powder
- 1 tsp (2 g) ground cumin
- 1 tsp (2 g) smoked paprika
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion (about 100 g / 3.5 oz), finely diced
- 4 cassava flour tortillas (~120 g / 4.2 oz each)
- 100 g (1 cup) raw cashews, soaked
- 45–60 ml (3–4 tbsp) water
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 150 g (5 oz) shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt to taste
- Optional: pickled jalapeños, cilantro, or salsa verde for garnish
Instructions
- Make the cashew “cheese”: Drain 100 g raw cashews soaked in hot water for 15 minutes. Blend with 45–60 ml water and 1 tbsp fresh lime juice until smooth. Chill briefly while you prep the meat.
- Heat 15 ml olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 small diced onion and cook until translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until aromatic.
- Add 500 g ground beef, breaking into small pieces. Cook for 6–8 minutes until browned, stirring and scraping. Stir in 2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 1 tsp smoked paprika; cook 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lay out 4 cassava tortillas. Spread 2 tbsp cashew “cheese” in the center of each. Top with 120 g warm beef mixture, 30 g shredded lettuce, and 2–3 slices avocado. Squeeze 1 tsp lime over each.
- Fold the tortilla edges over the filling in pleats to seal. Place seam-side down on a cutting board and press gently to flatten.
- Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and brush a thin layer of oil. Place the folded wrap seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes until golden, then flip and cook another 2 minutes.
- Transfer the wraps to a rack or foil-lined plate, rest for 1 minute before cutting in half. Serve hot with lime wedges and optional garnishes.
Notes
For best texture, layer lettuce last and add avocado just before folding. Avoid overcrowding the pan while searing for best crispiness.
