Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 1 whole sandwich roll
  • shredded lettuce
  • tomatoes
  • 160 g 90-10 lean ground beef
  • pickled jalapenos
  • 1½ slices low-fat American cheese
  • 28 g shredded cheddar
  • 20 g mayo
  • 20 g low-fat sour cream
  • adobo seasoning
  • lime juice
Mix the mayo and low-fat sour cream over a scale with a sprinkle of adobo seasoning and a spritz of lime juice.
Lighter cheeses and white sauce
  • onion
Set a pan or griddle over high heat, add the lean beef, season with adobo and let it cook about two minutes without chopping; it steams rather than fries.
Cooking the lean version
Add about double the thinly sliced onions of the first version and break everything up.
After another two minutes organise the beef into a sandwich roll shape and toss on a handful of chopped pickled jalapenos.
Add the shredded cheddar and the American cheese and let them melt.
Spread 15 grams of the white sauce on the roll, lay it on the cheesy beef to steam the bun and crisp the bottom, then flip after a minute.
Move to foil, top with shredded lettuce, drizzle a little more sauce on the lettuce, then add the tomatoes and wrap.
