Instructions

Get Frying
1
  • Slice the pepper into thin strips.
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, fry the mince and pepper, 5-6 mins.
  • Break it up the mince as it cooks, then drain the fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
Simmer Time
2
  • Next, add the Central American style spice mix and tomato puree. Stir-fry, 1 min.
  • Stir in the chicken stock paste, sugar and water (see pantry for both). 
  • Lower the heat. Simmer, 1-2 mins. 
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Final Touches
3
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, sugar and olive oil (see pantry for both).
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Microwave the tortillas (3 per person) for 850W: 50 secs / 750W: 1 min. If you don't have a microwave, just enjoy them cold.
  • Add the baby leaves to the dressing. Toss to coat.
Dinner's Ready!
4
  • Lay the tortillas on your plates. Pile with the salad, mince and pepper.
  • Finish with a dollop of soured cream. TIP: Eat your tacos by hand - get stuck in!

Enjoy!
