Method

  1. Cook the pepper and onion in a dry 10-inch (25cm) skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes without stirring, until browned underneath. Lower to medium and cook 2 minutes more, until soft and browned at the edges, then tip onto a plate.
  2. Add the oil and beef, press it flat and leave it for 1 minute, then break it up and cook until no pink remains and it reaches 165°F (74°C). Season with the paprika and salt, and return the vegetables.
  3. Push everything aside and scramble the egg in the space until just set. Warm the tortilla in the pan.
  4. Fill it with the beef and egg, then the cheddar, avocado, lime juice and cilantro, roll up and halve on the diagonal.
Chef’s tipAcid first: The lime goes on the filling, not on the side.
KeepThe beef and peppers keep 3 days in the fridge. Warm and roll a fresh tortilla each time.
