Preparation Time: 15 Minutes

Cooking Time: 15 Minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

  • 500g lean beef mince or vegetarian alternative
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 1 red pepper
  • Half a head of lettuce
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 200g grated cheddar cheese
  • 8 taco shells
  • Vegetable or rapeseed oil
  • Sour cream and salsa, to serve

Method:

  1. Dice the onion and fry with a drizzle of oil for 5 minutes until soft. Finely dice the garlic and add to the onion with the smoked paprika, cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the mince and cook for 7-10 minutes until browned and cooked through. 

  2. Meanwhile, wash and roughly chop the lettuce, tomatoes, and peppers and put them in bowls on the table. Grate the cheese and place your sour cream and salsa on the table. 

  3. Ask a grown-up to warm the taco shells for 1 minute in the oven and put the cooked mince into a cool dish. When the taco shells are warmed through, pop them and the mince on the table for everyone to dig into. Everybody can assemble their own tacos to their preference, making it a fun dinner for all. The leftovers make a great salad the next day!
