My family favourites are dishes like these beef tortillas, everyone can help to prepare them and once served it's a lovely social dish with everyone chatting around the table as they pick their own fillings.
A juicy steak adds a lot of flavour to a dish and a little goes a long way, this recipe uses just one good quality rump steak and it's enough to feed two adults and two children.
Red meat is packed full of nutrients like iron and zinc which are important for growth and development in children. Meat isn't always a favourite with children as it takes a bit more effort to chew, tender lean cuts diced into bite size pieces work best in these tortillas. Plus the children can be involved in preparing the fillings.
