Beef Taco!


This time I caramelized an onion, carrot and couple of cloves of garlic then sweated a stick of celery before browning the beef. When the beef was mostly cooked I sprinkled 1/2 teaspoon of beef stock, 1 1/2 tablespoon of taco seasoning and a dusting of flour. I cooked the flour taste off and added a tablespoon of water and 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce. I added a few seeds from chili peppers for heat and let it simmer for a minute.

Guacamole 

1 avocado
2 tsp lime juice
1 tsp sour cream
pinch salt
1 tsp cilantro chopped

Salsa

2 tomatoes diced
2 pearl onions diced
1 tsp cilantro
salt
black pepper
lime juice
1 tsp olive oil

Refried beans

1 can Old El Paso Refried Beans
1 tsp sour cream
1 tsp cilantro
1 tsp jalapeno
1 tsp lime juice

Heat the taco shell, fill and roll to centre of plate. Plate everything else around it. I could have grated cheddar cheese and added it to the taco and the beans but thought I had enough food as it was. The guacamole was really good. A little cilantro went a long way. I raided my neighbours garden for the cilantro. It needed topping so he thanked me, I'll help him out that way again!
