- Put the ragu in a medium saucepan and stir in the chipotle paste and smoked paprika. Simmer for 6-8 mins over a medium heat.
- Meanwhile, mix the onion, tomato, coriander and lime juice in a bowl; season and set aside.
- Dip each tortilla into the ragu to coat one side in sauce, then lay out on a large chopping board, ragu-side down. Divide the brisket between them, leaving one half empty. Sprinkle over the cheese and fold over.
- Heat 1½ tsp sunflower oil in a large, nonstick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry 2 tortillas for 2 mins each side until crisp and the cheese has melted. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and the remaining oil. Serve with the salsa.
