BEAN THERE, MADE THAT
Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry ¾ of the spring onion until lightly browned, 30-60 seconds. Add the kidney beans, tomato salsa, and a splash of water. Cook until heated through, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and place in a bowl with ¾ of the coriander.
O-YUM Ostrich
Return the pan used for the beans to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Pat the Ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (for medium-rare). Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
CREAMY CHILLIES & TOASTED ROTI
Place a clean pan over medium heat. When hot, toast each roti until warmed through, 30-60 seconds per side. Alternatively, spread them out on a plate in a single layer and heat up in the microwave, 30-60 seconds. In a small bowl, combine the chillies (to taste) with the crème fraîche, lemon juice (to taste) and seasoning.
TIME FOR TACOS!
Smear some crème fraîche on each roti. Load up with the green leaves, the Cucumber, and the beans. Top with the ostrich and garnish with the crispy onions, the remaining coriander and spring onion. Fold it all up, and it is time to go to taco town, Chef!
