Take some inspiration from Mexico using one of South Africa’s favourite meats, boerewors, to make tasty boerewors tortillas.
This is a fresh take on boerewors which is usually eaten on a hot dog roll or with pap. It’s also a great dish to entertain a crowd by creating a fun self-help station with all the toppings arranged in separate bowls.
Add some store-bought salsa to replace the traditional tomato ‘smoor’, but feel free to make your own.
Prepare your fire for a braai. In the meantime, place the prepared tomatoes, onion, avocado, sour cream, salsa, lettuce and coriander in separate serving bowls to get your tortilla self-help station ready before you start to braai the boerewors.
Braai the ‘wors’ and mielies on a grid over medium-hot coals until cooked to your liking, turning them often.
Remove from the heat and keep warm.
Give your tortillas a quick toast on the grid using tongs to turn them over – you just want to freshen them up.
Stack the hot tortillas and cover them with a clean cloth to keep them soft. Cut the corn from the cobs and get ready to serve at once.
To assemble: Place a toasted tortilla on a plate, then top with some tomato, onion, avocado and sour cream.
