Beef Tacos

The taco is a quick dish with intense flavour, where seasoning the filling is the key – and the crisp tortilla and fresh toppings keep it light.

1. Fry the finely chopped onion in a little oil, then add the crushed garlic.

2. Add the minced beef and fry it over a high heat, breaking it up often, until it browns.

3. Sprinkle over the chilli powder, the caraway and the paprika, season with salt, then pour in a little water.

4. Braise briefly until it is juicy but not too wet.

5. Warm the tortilla in a dry pan or in the oven for a few seconds so it becomes pliable.

6. Fill the tortillas with the spiced meat.

7. Sprinkle over diced tomato and shredded lettuce, then serve immediately so the tortilla does not go soggy.

Tip: Add the spices to the meat while it browns – this way they release their aroma better than if you only sprinkle them on at the end.
