Tex-Mex Sushi
Equipment
- Sushi mat
- Pan
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup pitted black olives
- 15 oz can cooked black beans
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 cup cooked sushi rice
- 1 steak seasoned with salt
- 4 large tortillas
- red & yellow bell pepper strips
- scallion strips
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a pan and sweat the onions and garlic until translucent. Add the rest of the ingredients, allow them to simmer for a while, then mash with a hand blender.
- Prepare the sushi rice and mix it with the refried beans.
- Season the steak with salt and briefly sear it on both sides in some olive oil. Transfer the steak to a preheated oven set to 275°F and cook until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the oven, wrap it in aluminum foil until it cools a bit, and then cut it into 4 equal strips.
- Cut the tortillas into squares.
- Place 1 tortilla on a sushi mat and moisten it with a little bit of water. Spread the refried beans over it, leaving one side slightly empty to make it easier to roll up later on. Top the refried beans with 1 steak strip, as well as red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and scallion strips, and roll up the tortilla. Repeat with the other 3 tortillas.
- Fry the stuffed tortillas in a pan until crispy, then cut into sushi-sized pieces to serve.

This Tex-Mex twist on sushi made with tortillas, refried beans, and steak tastes even better with some guacamole on the side!
