Recipe Tips
- To make this recipe super easy you can replace all the spices with a packet of taco seasoning instead. Alternatively, you can make taco seasoning at home.
- If you need to feed a hungry crowd, then simply double or triple this recipe. You may need to cut the beef into several pieces.
- The lime can be left out of the recipe if you don't have any or would rather not add it.
- You can replace the beef stock for a tomato salsa instead. It will be a very different mixture but even tastier.
- The browning of the beef is entirely optional and can be skipped if you’re low on time or don’t feel like making more dishes to wash up. This dish will still be delicious either way.
