Directions

Toast cumin, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a dry pan until fragrant. Crush using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Mix with chipotle flakes, paprika, oregano, garlic, onion granules, cornflour, and salt. Set aside.
In a bowl, toss sliced red onion with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Let sit while you prepare the beef.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the beef mince and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and caramelized. Sprinkle in half the spice mix, stir for 2 minutes, then pour in beef stock. Simmer for 10 minutes until thick and saucy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Warm tortillas in a dry pan or over an open flame until lightly blistered. Fill with beef, then top with avocado, tomato, cheese, pickled onions, and crushed tortilla chips (if using). Serve with lime wedges.

Recipe Note

Chef Tips

Make a double batch of the spice mix—it stores well for up to a month.
Swap beef mince with turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
Warm tortillas before serving to keep them soft and flexible.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these tacos with Mexican rice, refried beans, or a fresh side salad. Pair with margaritas, agua fresca, or a cold beer for the ultimate taco night experience.
