Cheesy Beef Tacos with Shredded Lettuce

Ingredients

• 500 g beef mince
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning
• 8 hard taco shells
• 120 g mild cheddar cheese, grated
• 150 g iceberg lettuce, shredded
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 100 ml soured cream
• 1 tbsp sunflower oil

Method

1. 1

   Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the beef mince and cook for 8–10 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned all over.

2. 2

   Drain any excess fat from the pan, then sprinkle over the taco seasoning. Stir well and add a splash of water (about 3 tbsp). Cook for a further 2 minutes until the meat is coated and fragrant.

3. 3

   Warm the taco shells in the oven according to packet instructions, usually 3–4 minutes at 180°C.

4. 4

   Set out the filling ingredients in bowls on the table. Let everyone build their own tacos with the seasoned beef, grated cheddar, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and a dollop of soured cream.
