Elevated Mexican Tacos

30 mins

Tuesday night is Taco Tuesday at James’s house. While in the past he’d have used an expensive packaged kit, we now make our tacos drawing on a selection of our Brilliant Bases, including Tomato Fondue, Quick Dough and BBQ House rub.

About This Recipe

At James’s place, more often than not, Tuesday night is Taco Tuesday – his daughters Martha and Gracie simply love it. In the past, the simple option was to simply buy a kit with the seasoning and a few taco shells in it… but that’s terrible value for money and a waste of precious resources when it comes to things like air miles and the amount of packaging in there.  


So we started to make an Elevated recipe of them. For the beef we choose a lean option with just 5% fat, and everything else in the recipe calls on some of our Brilliant Bases (quick dough, Tomato Fondue and BBQ rub), as well as some skills techniques (tomato concasse) and other recipes (guacamole). 


Even if making totally from scratch, aside from the Tomato Fondue, this dish takes no more than 30 minutes. And if you have dough left over, you can use that up for our pizzas a day or two later.
