Instructions
Meat Sauce - How To Make It
- Chop the onion and the carpaccio slices of beef into dice and set aside.
- Grate the carrot and celery stick, then chop the garlic and chilli.
- Take out a skillet pan, and add garlic, chilli, onion, carrot, celery, taco spice blend and diced meat. Let it all get properly caramelised and browed.
- Add Tomato passata (or tin) and let it cook together for a good 5 minutes. Add coriander, salt, pepper and honey.
- Now add the black beans and allow it all to cook together. If it becomes too thickish add water - a little at a time - and taste.
- Let cook on a slow heat for another 10 minutes.
Salsa
- Juice the lime, add taco spice blend, salt, pepper, chilli, garlic and coriander.
- Chop cucumber, onion, tomatoes, and bell pepper.
- Take a bowl and mix it all together. Cover with clingfilm, and refrigerate for approx 15 minutes (or more if you have patience)
Guacamole
- Dice the Avocado and add 3 table spoons of your salsa. Mix until properly combined, and desired consistency (some like it less, some more - right?)
Serve up family style
- Enjoy serving in small bowls, and grate some hard sheep's cheese on the side (if you want it) as this is easier for the digestion for someone with dairy intolerance.
- Dig in and have fun!
