  1. CHOP-CHOP

    Rinse the green leaves, the tomato, the spring onion, and the coriander. Finely shred the green leaves. Roughly dice the tomato. Trim and roughly slice the spring onion. Pick and roughly chop the coriander. Drain the gherkins and the piquanté peppers. Finely chop the gherkins. Roughly chop the almonds. Set all aside separately.

  2. ALL THE ALMONDS

    Place the chopped almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. CREAMY TACO SAUCE

    In a bowl, combine the mayo with the taco sauce, a sweetener, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Set aside.

  4. TACO MEATBALLS

    To a bowl, add the burger patty and season. Break up the patty and mix to combine. Divide the mince mixture into 2 small meatballs. Lay the tortillas out and press a meatball onto each one in a thin layer.

  5. CHEESY MEATBALLS

    Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the tortillas, meat-side down, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Flip and remove from the heat. Scatter over the grated cheese. Cover to melt, 30 seconds - 1 minute. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  6. LET’S SALSA

    In a bowl, combine the diced tomato, the sliced spring onion, ½ the chopped coriander, the drained piquanté peppers, the diced gherkins, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.

  7. TAKE A PIC AND SHARE

    Plate up the tacos and top with the shredded leaves and the zingy tomato salsa. Drizzle over the taco sauce. Garnish with the toasted almonds and the remaining coriander. Fold up and dig in!
