Ingredients
Method- 200 g Woolworths chipotle basting sauce
- 2 T olive oil
- 2 T Woolworths steak rub
- 170 g Woolworths Wagyu beef sirloin steak
- 2 cobs Woolworths supersweet corn
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 avocados
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 6 Woolworths carrot & quinoa wraps
- 15 g Woolworths baby pea shoots
- 30 g Woolworths fresh coriander

- 100 g Woolworths plain South African feta cheese, crumbled
- ½ x 35 g sachet Woolworths spiced pumpkin seed sprinkle

Method
Ingredients1. Combine the basting sauce, olive oil and steak rub and marinate the meat for 10–15 minutes.
2. Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot and cook the steak until medium rare (this should take 7–10 minutes, depending on the thickness). Set aside to rest.
3. Wipe the pan with kitchen paper and return to high heat. Char the corn on each side for 2–3 minutes. Remove the kernels from the cobs, season with a little salt and set aside.
4. Smash the avocado and mix with the lime zest and juice, then season with salt and pepper.
5. Toast the wraps in the griddle pan for about 1 minute on each side.
6. Fill the tacos in layers, starting with the leaves and herbs, followed by a generous dollop of smashed avocado, exotic tomatoes and feta.
7. Slice the meat into ½ cm strips and add to the tacos.
8. Garnish with pumpkin seeds, red onion and sliced green chilli.
