Instructions

Get Prepped
1

a) Preheat your oven to 200°C. Grate the cheddar. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). b) Trim the root from the baby gem lettuce, halve lengthways and thinly slice. Zest and halve the lime. c) Drain and rinse the kidney beans in a colander. Pop half the kidney beans in a bowl and mash with a fork until broken up.

Brown the Mince
2

a) Heat 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. Use a wooden spoon to break it up as it cooks. Drain the excess fat out.

Add the Flavour
3

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

Add the Beans
4

a) Pour in the water (see ingredients for amount) and add the beef stock powder. Add the kidney beans (whole and mashed). b) Stir until everything is evenly mixed and the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper. Tip: Add a splash more water if dry.

Make the Salad
5

a) Meanwhile, put the olive oil and sugar in a medium bowl (see ingredients for both amounts you need). b) Season with salt and pepper and squeeze in the lime juice. Mix together until combined. Add the lettuce to the dressing and toss to combine. c) Meanwhile, pop the tacos on the top shelf of your oven to warm through for 2-3 mins.

Finish and Serve
6

a) Taste the beef mixture and add salt and pepper if you feel it needs it. b) Serve the tacos with a spoonful of beef on top. Sprinkle over the cheese and lime zest. Add the lettuce to the tacos too. d) Serve and enjoy!
