Method

Ingredients

To prepare the beef:
Preheat the oven to 120°C.
Heat the lard or butter in an ovenproof casserole dish over a medium heat. Add the spices and cook for one minute.
Add the beef and brown. Pour in the stock. Cover and slow-cook for 5 to 6 hours. Add more stock if necessary.
Cool, then break up the meat. Place some meat in the middle of each tortilla, roll up the sides, fold into a parcel and tie up with string.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and shallow fry the parcels until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
Serve with the watermelon salsa and the remaining meat.
