Prep time:

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Total time:

Serves: 2

300g minced beef

1 red pepper

½ onion

2tbsp olive oil

250g grated mozzarella

100g sour cream

handful of chopped coriander

6 soft shell tacos

Few things bring a dish to life quite like a great spice blend. Dust Bros’ Mega Mexican is packed with bold, warming Mexican flavours, making it the perfect partner for these indulgent beef tacos. Combined with sweet peppers, onion and melted mozzarella, then finished with cool sour cream and fresh coriander, it’s an effortless recipe, full of flavour and perfect for sharing around the table.

1. Dice the bell pepper and onion into 1cm pieces. Sweat in a tablespoon of oil over medium heat until the onion turns translucent, then remove from the pan.

2. Add a little more oil to the pan and turn the heat to high. Add the beef mince and let it sit for a couple of minutes to brown, then break it up and colour the meat 

all over.

3. Stir in a tablespoon of Mega Mexican plus the peppers and onions. Mix well, then remove from the heat.

4. Spoon the mince generously onto your tacos, top with cheese, and fold over.

5. Fry the folded tacos in the same pan until lightly browned and the cheese melts.

6. Serve with sour cream and a coriander garnish.
