Method
- Heat the oil in a large, heavybased pan and fry the onion for a few min, to soften. Add the beef and cook for about 5 mins, to brown it all over.

Top tips for making burritos
Make the shredded beef ahead of time and leave in the fridge until needed. This will make the meat extra flavoursome and tender when cooking.
