About this recipe
Taco night is always a hit. The beef is seasoned with a homemade spice mix (no packet needed) and the fresh salsa takes five minutes to chop. Lay everything out and let everyone build their own tacos.
Method

For the salsa, mix the tomato, red onion, half the coriander and the lime juice with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook the brown onion for 3 minutes until soft.

Step 3
Add the garlic and mince and cook, breaking it up, for 6 minutes until browned.

Step 4

Step 5
Warm the tortillas, then fill with beef, salsa, lettuce, cheese and the remaining coriander.
Cooking tips
Make the salsa first so the flavours have time to mingle.
Storage
Refrigerate the beef for up to 3 days. The salsa is best eaten the same day.
