Instructions

1 ✓

Prepare fresh ingredients: shred lettuce, dice tomatoes. Cut lime into wedges.

Tip: Preparing fresh vegetables (mise en place) is important because meat cooks fast, and best served hot.
2 ✓

Heat oil in pan, fry minced beef until brown. Break up with wooden spoon so no large lumps remain.

Tip: Let meat brown properly (Maillard reaction), don't just steam in own juice. This gives flavour.
3 ✓

Add taco seasoning and a little water (approx. 50ml), cook for a few minutes until sauce thickens and coats meat.

Tip: Spices dissolve truly in fat and liquid, permeating the meat.
4 ✓

Assemble bowls: put a layer of tortilla chips at bottom, hot spiced meat on top, sprinkle generously with cheese.

Tip: Heat of hot meat starts melting cheese and softens chips slightly, resulting in delicious texture.
5 ✓

Heap iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, and a large spoonful of soured cream on top. Serve with lime wedge.

Tip: Temperature difference of cold soured cream and hot meat makes dish exciting.
