Ingredients

  • 500g Tegel Fresh Chicken Mince

  • 1 finely chopped onion

  • 1 clove crushed garlic

  • 400g can Mexican tomatoes

  • 2 Tablespoons tomato paste

  • 8 Jumbo taco shells

  • 1 ½ cups grated cheese

  • Iceberg lettuce

  • 3 medium tomatoes, chopped

  • Mexican salsa for serving (optional)

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

  1. Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan. Add the chicken mince and cook over high heat for 5 minutes or until the mince is golden brown. Mash with a fork while browning to break up the mince.

  2. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook over medium heat for a further 2 to 3 minutes. Add the Mexican tomatoes and tomato paste. Simmer for 10 minutes or until the sauce reduces and thickens.

  3. Meanwhile, place the taco shells onto a baking tray. Heat in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until they are warm. Serve the taco shells with the chicken mince mixture, cheese, shredded lettuce and tomatoes. Top with salsa if desired
