Ingredients

• Wye Organic Minced Beef
• 1 tbsp Chili Powder
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder & 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt & 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tbsp Tomato Paste
• 100ml Beef stock (or water).
• 12 small Corn or Flour Tortillas.
• Toppings: Shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, sour cream, grated cheddar and lime juice.

Method

1. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it’s fully browned and slightly crispy (about 6–8 minutes). Drain off the excess fat if there’s too much.
2. Toast the Spices: Add your spice mix and the tomato paste directly to the meat. Stir for 1 minute.
3. Pour in the beef stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 3–5 minutes until the liquid has thickened into a glossy sauce that coats the meat.
4. Char the Tortillas: While the meat simmers, quickly heat your tortillas in a dry pan for 30 seconds per side until they are soft and slightly charred. Keep them warm in a clean tea towel.
5. Assemble! Spoon a generous amount of beef into each tortilla and pile high with your favourite toppings. A squeeze of fresh lime at the end for us is non-negotiable!
