Deconstructed Tacos
Oh, how our family loves a good Taco Tuesday! We’ve got a mix of preferences—one of us is all about those crunchy hard shells, another swears by the soft tortillas, and as for me, I like to keep it deconstructed! Whatever salad ingredients I have in the fridge get tossed together, and I enjoy it all on the side.
Below you have a very SIMPLE taco mince recipe that the whole family can enjoy!
This was the guacamole we had as a side in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, back in 2013. They literally smashed the ingredients together right in front of us—so fresh and so amazing!
Taco Mince Recipe
Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
1 TBS Olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
500g beef mince
1 jar of salsa dip
1 cup beef stock, home made or store bought
a good pinch of both salt & pepper
optional*
1/2 diced capsicum
1/2 cup frozen corn
Method:
Saute diced onion & garlic in olive oil over medium heat for around 8-10 minutes, you want the onion caramelised and the garlic to be slightly browned.
Add mince, breaking up continually to get a nice consistently, we don’t like ours too chunky.
Add remaining ingredients and simmer over low heat for 1 hr.
Alternately this recipe would be great with beef short ribs, place all ingredients + and additional can of crushed tomatoes over low heat and slow cook for 4-6 hours, topping with extra broth if required.
Thats it!
Super easy, no fuss about it.
