Mexican Beef Taco Salad

If you mix ‘me’ and ‘can’, what do you get? A mouthwatering Mexican meal anyone can make! That’s because you’re essentially making a deconstructed taco as a salad, Chef. Fresh green leaves are tossed with dots of charred corn, butter-basted beef strips, yummy borlotti beans, creamy avo, and drizzled with lime-flavoured sour cream as a delicious bonus.

  1. LET’S GET GOING!

    In a bowl, combine ½ the lime juice, the sour cream, and seasoning. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside.

  2. A NEED FOR SEEDS

    Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.

  3. I’LL HAVO SOME AVO

    Halve the avocado and set aside the half containing the pip for another meal. Peel off the avocado skin, keeping the flesh intact. Slice and season with salt, pepper, and the remaining lime juice.

  4. NOTHING CORNY ‘BOUT THIS

    Return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, add the corn and fry for 4-5 minutes until charred, shifting occasionally. In the final minute, add the chipotle flakes (to taste) and the drained borlotti beans. Remove from the heat, season, and set aside.

  5. BROWN THE BEEF

    Return the pan, wiped down, to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the beef strips dry with paper towel. When the pan is hot, add the beef and fry for 2-4 minutes until browned, shifting as it colours. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and the spice blend. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel. In a bowl, combine the shredded leaves, the diced tomatoes, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.

  6. AS SIMPLE AS THAT

    Plate up the charred corn & beans, the browned beef, the tomato salad, and the avo slices. Drizzle over the loosened sour cream. Sprinkle over the sunflower seeds and the chopped coriander.
