Some mid-week dinner inspo to spice up this week’s menu- little more taco kit that authentic but some nights that’s what’s called for! ????✨My boys absolutely love getting involved and building their own tacos with this one!
Serves 4
Time: 25 mins
600g beef mince
3 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 lime, juice
2 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp hot chilli powder
1 red onion, very finely sliced
4 medium vine ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
Large handful of fresh coriander, plus extra to serve
8 mini white wraps
Large handful coriander leaves
For my homemade taco shop guac:
4 spring onions, white parts only
1 green chilli, deseeded and roughly chopped
1 fat clove garlic, bashed
2 large avocados, pitted and peeled
Juice of a lime
Hot sauce, coriander and lime wedges to serve
For the pickled onion, place the onion in a bowl, add juice of half a lime and sea salt. Massage gently until slightly tender and set aside.
To make the salsa, in another bowl combine the tomato and half the coriander. Season to taste with sea salt and ground black pepper. Chill in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
Meanwhile, for the homemade taco shop guac, start by blending the spring onions, green chilli, garlic, and the remaining coriander in a food processor until as smooth as possible. Add the avocado and juice of half a lime, then blend again until the mixture is velvety smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, then set aside until ready to serve.
For the beef, heat one tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over a medium high heat. Fry the ground beef for approximately 15-20 mins, breaking up with a wooden spatula until the liquid has evaporated and mince has browned and crisped up. Stir through the garlic, half the lime juice, ground cumin and hot chilli powder. Fry for a further 2 minutes until aromatic.
While the beef is cooking, toast the tortillas on a dry griddle pan over a high heat. When the beef is almost cooked, brush the tortillas with the remaining oil and one at a time, toast the tortillas for 30 seconds on both sides.
Add the warm tortillas to a serving platter and allow everyone to assemble their tacos with the beef, the pickled onion, salsa and taco shop guacamole. Serve with extra coriander leaves, hot sauce and lime wedges for an even better taco experience and enjoy!
