Crunchy Beef Tacos with Minted Lime Yoghurt
Recipe by Helen Tzouganatos
Ingredients:
1 pack of gluten-free corn tortillas
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 brown onion, peeled and finely chopped
Sea salt flakes
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 pack gluten-free taco seasoning
500g beef mince
Lime Yoghurt
Small handful fresh mint leaves
1 garlic clove
Pinch of sea salt flakes
1 cup thick plain Greek yoghurt* (or coconut yoghurt for dairy free version)
1 tbsp lime juice
To Serve
1 small gem lettuce, shredded
1 large Lebanese cucumber, cut into matchsticks
Method:
Preheat a fan forced oven to 200°C. Flip over a muffin tray and sit tortillas between the cups. Bake for 8-10 minutes until tortillas are golden. Set aside to cool.
To make the dressing place the mint, garlic and salt in a mortar and pestle and grind to a paste. Add the yoghurt and lime juice and stir to combine.
Place large frypan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, onion and a pinch of salt to the pan and sauté onion for 3 minutes to soften. Add garlic, tomato paste, taco seasoning and cook for another 30 seconds.
Add beef and cook for a few minutes, breaking up with a spoon. Pour in ¼ cup of water and simmer for a few minutes to reduce the sauce.
To assemble tacos place mince on the bottom, top with a few cucumber sticks, lettuce and a drizzle of yoghurt.
* if Greek yoghurt is too runny strain in a muslin cloth.
