Avocado mashed with lime but left a little chunky gives a cool, soft contrast to the spiced beef.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Finely dice 1 onion and mince 2 garlic cloves before heating the pan.
Halve the avocado and keep the lime ready, then set out the taco shells, salsa, cheddar, and sour cream so assembly is quick.
- 2
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and cook the onion for 4 minutes.
When translucent, add the garlic and cook for only 1 minute without browning it.
- 3
Add 400g ground beef and cook over medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes.
Break it into small crumbles with a spatula as it browns, and continue until no red patches or large clumps remain.
- 4
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons taco seasoning evenly over the beef.
Cook for another 3 minutes over medium heat, until the seasoning coats the meat, then turn off the heat.
- 5
Mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the lime juice.
Leave small pieces rather than making it completely smooth.
- 6
Warm 8 taco shells in a dry pan or microwave for 30 to 45 seconds so they stay crisp.
Fill each with beef, salsa, avocado, cheddar, and sour cream, then serve at once with lime wedges for squeezing.
