Cooking Steps
- Core, then finely chop jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)
- Remove any damaged outer leaves of the lettuce, then cut in half.
- Separate half the lettuce leaves (all the leaves for 4 ppl) from the core. Set aside.
- Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice green onion.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef.
- Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Add Tex-Mex paste and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water to the beef. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, add vinegar, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
- Add tomatoes, jalapeños and green onions to the bowl with dressing, then toss to combine.
- Divide lettuce leaves between plates, then fill with beef mixture. (TIP: Double up on the lettuce leaves for a studier wrap, if desired). Top with tomato-jalapeño salsa.
- Drizzle with chipotle sauce.
- Sprinkle cheese and crispy shallots over top.
