- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tbs smoked paprika
- 3 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp reduced-salt stock powder

Method
-
Add oil to the frying pan and heat it up to a medium heat while you finely chop the onion.
-
Cook the onion for 2 minutes, then add the mince. Cook, stirring occasionally, until there is no pink/ red colour left (about 5 minutes).
-
While the beef and onions are cooking, mince/ finely chop the garlic.
-
Add the spices, stock, tomato paste and garlic and cook for 4-5 minutes, till beef is browned. Add the hot water to the pan and stir.
-
While the beef and spices are cooking, drain and rinse the beans and corn, and chop up the avocado and tomato.
-
Serve beef with vegetables, a tortilla and a squeeze of lime juice (if using).
- This mince is also great with brown rice or a baked potato
- Use up whatever salad vegies you have. Cucumber, capsicum, purple onion and lettuce are all great additions.
- Want more flavour pop? Fresh coriander, pickled jalapenos, hot sauce or salsa and Greek yoghurt all add a little kick.
