Ingredients
 
 

  • 450 g ground beef
  • 150 g thinly sliced bacon
  • 2 hot peppers
  • 2 red onions
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pepper
  • 1/4 light paprika
  • sumac
  • 50 ml buttermilk
  • 4 - 6 tortillas

Instructions
 

  • Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • On a baking sheet, place the bacon slices side by side and then add the beef and roll it tightly in the bacon using the baking paper.
    The roll can also be prepared a day in advance and stored in the fridge. The salt will act as a glue for the meat and it will be much easier to cut/handle.
