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.
