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.
