  • Add garlic, spices and beef mince. Stir, breaking the beef apart, and cook until the beef is brown all over.
  • If using fresh tomatoes roughly dice them.
  • Add the beef broth, tomatoes and tomato paste. Bring to a boil and then simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir in the coriander leaves.
  • Serve with avocado slices or guacamole*, sour cream or yoghurt, lime wedges and salad leaves. Also delicious with corn tortillas or on top of rice.

Recipe notes:

  • We stock and love the all natural gluten-free tortillas from La Tortilleria, made with only two ingredients (corn and salt). They are delicious!
  • At The Health Emporium we sell the delicious chorizo from Gamze Smokehouse that is free range, preservative free, naturally wood smoked, gluten free and hand crafted.
  • *For the easiest guacamole mash 2 avocados with a fork until very smooth. Stir in 2 tbsp of finely sliced coriander leaves, 1/4 tsp ground cumin, 1/4 tsp chilli powder, salt, pepper and the juice of 1-2 limes to taste.
