Recipe


Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red capsicum, finely diced
  • 1 red onion, finely diced
  • 1 carrot, finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 300g grass-fed beef mince
  • 275g tin black beans
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • ½ tsp chilli powder
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 8 taco shells
  • Lime wedges, to serve

Method


  • Preheat oven to 200°C. Place taco shells on tray and bake for 15 mins.
  • Heat olive oil in large frypan over medium heat. Add capsicum, onion, carrot, garlic and sea salt. Sauté for 15 mins, until vegetables have softened and sweetened.
  • Increase heat slightly and add beef mince and black beans. Cook for further 5 mins, stirring continuously.
  • Reduce heat to medium, add spices and tomato paste. Cook for a further 10 mins, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before serving. The mixture may seem a little dry and you may be tempted to add water, but don't. You want it to hold up well in the tacos and not make the tacos go soft.
  • Serve with wedges of lime and Mango & Grilled Corn Salsa.
