Cooking Instructions and Tips

Get Prepped
1

a) Preheat your oven to 200°C.
b) Grate the cheese. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Chop the tomatoes into 1cm pieces.
c) Trim the baby gem, halve lengthways then thinly slice.
d) Drain and rinse the kidney beans in a colander. Pop half of the kidney beans into a bowl and mash with a fork until broken up.

Brown the Mince
2

a) Pop a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
b) When the pan is hot, add the beef mince and cook until browned, 5-6 mins.
c) Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw mince.

Add the Flavour
3

a) Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, tomato puree and Cajun spice mix to the beef (add less if you don't like heat).
b) Stir to combine, then cook until fragrant, 1-2 mins.

Bring on the Beans
4

a) Pour in the water for the beef (see ingredients for amount) and add the beef stock paste.
b) Add the kidney beans (whole and mashed). Stir until everything is evenly mixed and the sauce thickens.
c) Season with salt and pepper. TIP: Add a splash more water if dry. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Make the Salad
5

a) Meanwhile, pour the cider vinegar, olive oil for the dressing and sugar into a medium bowl (see ingredients for both amounts).
b) Season with salt and pepper, then mix together until combined. Add the lettuce and tomato to the dressing and toss to combine.
c) Pop the tortillas on the top shelf of your oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

Assemble the Tacos
6

a) Taste the beef and bean mix and season with salt and pepper if needed.
b) Divide the tortillas between your plates (3 per person) and top with spoonfuls of the beef and bean mix.
c) Sprinkle over the cheese.
d) Finish with a sprinkle of salad, then serve any remaining salad alongside. TIP: Tacos are best enjoyed eaten by hand - get stuck in! Enjoy!
