Fresh Tomato Salsa

Taco Filling

Sour Cream ‘crema’

Steps

1
Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Place a large frying pan over high heat.
2
While waiting for the pan to heat up, make the tomato salsa. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined. Set aside for later.
3
To cook the filling, squeeze out the chorizo meat from the sausage casings and add to the hot pan (discard the sausage casings). Use a spatula to break up the chorizo. Add the beef mince and break that up also. Leave the chorizo and beef alone (don’t stir it!) to sear for 4-5 minutes. Once you’ve got some lovely colour going on and it’s starting to smell like hamburgers, give it all a toss, then stir through the chickpeas and cook until the meat is cooked through and nice and charry.
4
In the meantime, place the taco shells in the oven for about 5-6 minutes until crisped up and warmed through. You can also make the ‘crema’ by mixing the ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
5
Add the smoked paprika and gochujang to the taco filling and mix well. Toss through the coriander. Season with salt to taste.
6
Take taco shells out of oven. To assemble, fill the taco shells with layers of cheese, beef mixture, tomato salsa and top with a sprinkling of onion and shredded lettuce. Drizzle with the crema and coconut sriracha or hot sauce. Serve and enjoy!
