Tacos Recipe

Tacos with a twist

Tuck into these tacos, with melt-in-the-mouth, slow cooked beef…

Pulled beef, served in crispy tortilla taco shells and topped with soured cream and coriander… This is a simple midweek meal that the whole family will look forward to. The coffee in the recipe adds a sweet, rich flavour that perfectly complements the chilly beef. If you want to mix it up, top your tacos with avocado, tomatoes and sweet corn and add a little barbecue sauce to the recipe.

Prep time: 30 minutes

Cooking time: slow cook for up to 10 hours

Serves: 8 - 10

Ingredients:

For the meat:

800g boneless beef roasting joint
1 small, white onion

200ml beef stock
200ml Miles Ground Italian Espresso, made in a cafetiere
2 red chillies, diced and de-seeded
2 cloves garlic

Method:
