Beef Tacos
Warm corn tortillas, seasoned beef and nothing more complicated than onion and coriander on top. Toasting whole spices for two minutes puts this miles past a sachet.

Method
- 01
Toast the cumin seeds in a dry pan for 90 seconds until fragrant, then crush them.
- 02
Brown the mince hard in a hot pan without stirring much, so it crusts rather than steams.
- 03
Add the onion and garlic and cook 4 minutes until soft.
- 04
Stir in the cumin, oregano, paprika and chipotle and fry 1 minute.
- 05
Pour in the stock and simmer 8 minutes until the liquid is nearly gone and the beef is glossy.
- 06
Warm the tortillas directly over a flame or in a dry pan until they puff and blister - cold tortillas ruin good filling.
- 07
Double up the tortillas, fill, and top with raw white onion, coriander and a squeeze of lime.
