Method

  1. 1

    Put the chipotle paste, cumin, oregano, garlic, onion, tomato and stock in a pan and simmer for 12–15 minutes until the onion is soft. Mash well or blend for a smoother consommé.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, sear the beef in a hot pan with a splash of oil for 1–2 minutes until browned. Stir it into the consommé for 1 minute, then lift it out and chop roughly.

  3. 3

    Dip the tortillas in the fat from the top of the consommé, fill with beef and cheese, fold and fry in a dry pan for 1–2 minutes each side until crisp.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  5. 5

    Serve the tacos with the consommé for dipping, lime wedges and coriander.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 25 g coriander. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.
