Quick and easy, tasty and everyone loves them. Tacos!! Fantastic!
Mexican food is a great option for those on a wheat free diet. So many options and usually quick and easy to prepare, tasty and a real crowd pleaser.
I don't like eating things that I can't pronounce so I make my own taco seasoning, simple:
Taco Seasoning:
2 teaspoons of chilli powder
1.5 teaspoons cumin
1.5 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or a little more if you like it a bit hotter)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
This mix is enough for 2 taco meals. Split it in two. :)
Tacos
500g minced beef
1/2 quantity of taco seasoning above
1 large onion
1 carrot
1 stick of celery
couple of mushrooms
1-2 cloves garlic
1 small red capsicum (optional)
3 tomatoes
10g olive oil
Throw all the fresh veg in the thermomix and blitz - speed 7, 5 seconds
If you don't have a Thermomix, traditional cooking method is listed below :)
Add oil, mince and taco seasoning and set Thermomix 25 minutes, 100 degrees, speed slow, reverse - leave the measuring cup off and place simmering basket on top to eliminate splatter
Drain excess liquid/fat (using the simmering basket) and transfer mixture to a serving bowl.
Layer meat mixture with sour cream, taco sauce, cheese, lettuce and tomato in your chosen wheat-free tacos or white corn tortillas and enjoy!
For those using the traditional cooking method:
Chop all veg finely.
Brown onions, garlic, celery and carrot in oil on medium-high heat
Add remainder of veg and cook until soft
Add mince and taco seasoning and cook until cooked through. If the mixture becomes a little dry, just add a dash of water. :)
