Ingredients
  

  • 250 g lean beef, thinly sliced
  • 4 whole-wheat wraps
  • 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish optional
  • Sesame seeds, for sprinkling optional
  • Mixed salad greens, for serving optional

Equipment

  • Deep frying pan or pot
  • Chef's knife
  • Heatproof mixing bowl
  • Rubber spatula or wooden spoon
  • Salad serving plate

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade for the beef.
  2. Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef, cooking for about 5-7 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  4. While the beef is cooking, prepare the wraps. Lay out the whole-wheat wraps and evenly distribute the sliced cucumber and avocado on each.
  5. Once the beef is cooked, place an equal portion on each wrap. Fold in the sides of the wrap and roll it tightly from the bottom up to secure the filling.
  6. Place the wraps back in the frying pan, seam-side down, and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly crisp and heated through.
  7. Remove from heat and slice each wrap in half. Serve with a simple side salad sprinkled with sesame seeds and garnish with cilantro, if desired.

Notes

For a different flavor twist, try adding a dollop of Greek yogurt or a spoonful of hummus inside the wrap.
If you're short on time, pre-cooked beef strips can be a great shortcut!
Feel free to store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; just reheat gently in the pan or microwave before enjoying them again.
