180ml water
200g white long grain rice

Instructions
- Hydrate Eat Curious Dehydrated Mince using 1 part Mince: 3 parts cold water (or stock): For this recipe, add 60g Eat Curious Dehydrated Mince to a gastronorm tray or food-grade container. Add 180ml water and stir well to fully submerge. We recommend adding gravy browning to the rehydration liquid to help colour the mince and ensure a seamless blend when cooked with beef mince. Cover and leave to hydrate for a minimum of 30 minutes. Overnight hydration (chilled) is recommended for best yield and texture. Drain any excess liquid before using.
- Heat oil in large pan, sauté onions and peppers for 5 minutes. Add beef mince and cook until browned.
- Add the hydrated Eat Curious Mince, cook for two minutes. Add cumin, chilli powder, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Add black beans and sweetcorn, heat through for 3 minutes.
- Warm tortillas in dry pan or microwave. Place rice down centre of each tortilla. Top with mince mixture, tomatoes, and lettuce. Fold in sides, then roll tightly from bottom to top. Serve with lime wedges and garnish with coriander.
