Szechuan Beef Taco

I've been away from blogging for awhile. Just in case you were wondering, I've been sort of preoccupied with getting our house ready for visitors. I'm not very good with multi-tasking at all. It's hard to focus on my interests when there are things to be taken care of. I have to do one thing at a time. Having said that, it's good to be back.

Fresh cilantro and Szechuan peppercorns would delight your tastebuds.

We had a Chinese takeout the other night. Thank goodness for takeouts! What would one do without them? A great thing about takeouts is that you can be just as creative using them to come up with another dish. With the takeout Szechuan beef, I made a wrap, garnished with cilantro and a sprinkle of fragrant Szechuan peppercorns and a dollop of sriracha mayo. Tired of takeouts? How about some tacos tonight with a Chinese twist?

Szechuan Beef Taco

1 flour tortilla
A spoonful Szechuan beef, takeout
1/2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/4 tsp sriracha sauce
Sprinkle Szechuan peppercorns, smashed into powder, optional
Cilantro, chopped

Sriracha sauce

Sriracha sauce and mayonnaise

Combine mayonnaise and sriracha sauce and mix well. On a tortilla, place Szechuan beef and the mayo mixture, sprinkle some ground Szechuan peppercorns, and top it with chopped cilantro. You would never guess it's made with leftover Chinese takeout.

Fragrant Szechuan peppercorns. Crush them with the back of a knife.

Assembly done.
