1. Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Combine parmesan and cheddar in a bowl. Place two 1⁄4-cupfuls of cheese mixture on a prepared tray. Use a spoon to spread the mixture into two 16cm-wide discs. Repeat on the remaining tray. Bake for 12-13 minutes or until golden.

4. Fill the tacos with salad leaves, sprouts, mince mixture, cucumber, avocado and tomato. Top with sour cream and coriander, if you like.
