TEX-MEX RAGÙ
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 50ml of boiling water and set aside. Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the diced Onion until soft and translucent, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Mix in the spice blend until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Stir in the cooked chopped tomato and the diluted stock, then reduce the heat. Simmer until reduced and thickened, 10-12 minutes (stirring occasionally).
SPICY Corn SALSA & CRÈME
Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Corn until charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Transfer to a bowl, and add the chopped jalapeños (to taste). Toss to combine, season, and set aside.
Ostrich STRIPS
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the ostrich until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and season.
ROLL ’EM UP
When the ragù has 2 minutes remaining, stir through the drained black beans to heat through, remove from the pot, and season. Grease a roasting tray or ovenproof dish with butter (optional) or oil. Spread the ragù evenly over the tortillas and top with the Ostrich stips. Roll each one up into a tube. Place on the tray or dish and top with the grated cheese.
