We call these spicy because of all the aromatic spices that we used: cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, ginger, black pepper, and curry powder. If you are a spice junkie, then definitely bring your own hot chilli sauce if you are going to eat the burritos we prepared. If you are making your own and would like your burritos to have an extra kick, use hot curry powder, do not seed the jalapenos, or better yet use habaneros.
Partially freeze the beef, thinly slice across the grain then cut into strips. We stir-fried the beef in very little oil and it was so tender that it just melted in the mouth. The cilantro, lettuce, green onions, and the yogurt sauce make these burritos fresh-tasting. We used fresh, homemade tortillas and the result was nothing short of spectacular.

Steps for preparing the beef burritos. Partially freeze the beef, thinly slice across the grain then cut into thin strips.
In a bowl, combine the beef strips, sweet pepper, paprika, curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, grated fresh ginger, grated garlic, tomato paste, ground black pepper and salt. Mix well.
Preheat the pan for 3 minutes using high heat, then add 1 tablespoon oil. Stir fry for 2 minutes in small batches. Do not crowd the pan. Add the cilantro and stir.
Combine the low-fat yogurt, salt and olive oil and mix well.
Place a small lettuce leaf on the burrito then spread some of the yogurt mixture. Place the stir-fried beef on the lettuce leaf and add some of the jalapeno peppers, green onions, cilantro and a few dollops of the yogurt sauce. Wrap as shown in the video and photo below.
Brush both sides of the wrap with a little oil and cook for one minute on each side using medium heat.
