Start your day with healthy tacos

It’s no secret that Mexicans have quite a cuisine that boasts of lovely flavours and aromas. Most Mexican food is packed with nutritious vitamins and nutrients and so tasty. This week we’re going for tacos. They are basically a Mexican version of shawarma and a serving of refried beans to accompany it.

Beef Tacos and refried beans INGREDIENTS

1 onion 1 red pepper 1 green pepper Olive oil 2 cloves of garlic 1 pinch of paprika 1½ teaspoons cumin 500g minced beef 250ml beef stock 12 soft tortilla bread 2 ripe tomatoes 1 spring onion 3 sprigs of fresh coriander ½ a lime 2 ripe avocados • ½ lime • 2 tablespoons crème fraîche

Directions

Peel and dice the onion, then deseed and dice the peppers. Soften in 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over a low heat.

Peel, finely slice and add the garlic, along with the paprika and cumin, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the beef and stir until it has browned.

Pour in the stock, cover, and cook for 45 minutes, or until reduced.

For the salsa, roughly chop the tomatoes, trim and finely slice the spring onion, then roughly chop the coriander leaves. Combine with the lime juice, then season carefully to taste.

For the guacamole, halve and destone the avocados, then mash the flesh with a fork. Squeeze in the lime juice, add the crème fraîche, season, and gently mix it all up.

Fill the tortilla bread with the meat, salsa and guacamole or lay everything out and let everyone help themselves.
