For a relaxed, pick-and-mix supper combine this easy beef taco recipe with your favourite salsa, sides and toppings. Our tex-mix tacos are a crowd-pleaser

Ingredients:

500g pack lean minced beef
1 tbsp sunflower oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 ½ tbsp dried oregano, crumbled
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp paprika
pinch of chilli flakes
24 taco shells

Method:

Set a large frying pan over high heat. Wait until it’s very hot then use to brown the mince.

Remove from the heat then season with salt and black pepper and turn onto a plate. If desired, drain off any excess oil and return to the pan.

Set the pan back over medium heat and if necessary, add a little oil. Use this to fry the garlic, oregano and spices for 1 min until fragrant.

Return the beef to the pan and toss well to combine with the other ingredients, then cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Warm the taco shells following the pack instructions (or prepare home-made ones) and serve with the beef.
