Serves 4

Ingredients

Mexican Beef

1 tbsp olive oil

1 small brown onion, finely diced

500g beef mince

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 sachet taco seasoning

2 tbsp tomato paste

1/4 cup smoky chipotle salsa

1/2 cup water

1 can Mexican-style 3 bean mix, drained

Chipotle Yoghurt

1/2 cup Greek yoghurt

1 tsp smoky chipotle salsa

Juice of 1/2 lime

To Assemble

1 pack hard taco shells

1 cup grated cheese

1 avocado, diced

1 tomato, finely diced

1 green chilli, thinly sliced

Remaining lime, cut into wedges

Method

1. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add the beef mince and cook, breaking it up, until browned.

2. Add the garlic, taco seasoning, tomato paste, salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add the chipotle salsa, water, and beans. Simmer for 6–8 minutes until thickened and saucy.

4. For the sauce, combine Greek yoghurt, chipotle salsa, and lime juice. Mix until smooth.

5. Arrange the taco shells in an oven-safe dish. Spoon some of the beef mixture inside and top with the grated cheese. Bake at 180°C for 5–7 minutes until crispy and the cheese has melted.

6. To finish, top with the chipotle yoghurt, avocado, tomato, and chilli, and serve with the lime wedges.
