Ingredients (Serves 1)
-
150g extra lean 95% fat free beef mince (weighed raw)

-
20g shredded lettuce
-
10g finely chopped brown onion

30g pickled cucumber slices

Method
1. Season and cook the beef: Season the mince with salt and pepper. Spread a thin, even layer over each mini tortilla.
2. Sear the taco base: Place the tortilla beef-side down into a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and has a light crust.
