Serves 4 people
Prep time 15 mins Cook time Nil
4 servings of Slow-Cooked Honey Garlic Beef (see separate recipe)
8 small soft tortillas (corn or flour)
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup salsa or diced tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yoghurt
Fresh coriander to garnish
Lime wedges for serving
INSTRUCTIONS.
- Prepare the Beef:
Reheat the Slow-Cooked Honey Garlic Beef in a pan over medium heat until warmed through. You want the beef to be tender, juicy, and full of flavour. - Warm the Tortillas:
While the beef is reheating, warm the tortillas in a dry frypan over medium heat, about 30 seconds per side. Alternatively, you can wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven for a few minutes. - Assemble the Tacos:
Lay the tortillas flat and fill each one with a generous portion of the Honey Garlic Beef. Add your favourite toppings—sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, salsa, and cheese. Top with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yoghurt for creaminess. - Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh coriander and serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick. Serve immediately and enjoy!
WHY THESE TACOS ARE PERFECT FOR ENTERTAINING.
Tacos are always a crowd-pleaser, but what makes these Beef Tacos ideal for entertaining is how easy they are to customise. Set up a taco bar with all the toppings, and let your guests build their own. This interactive approach keeps things casual, fun, and stress-free for you as the host. Plus, it’s a great way to accommodate different dietary preferences—everyone can choose exactly what they want in their taco.
You can also make the Honey Garlic Beef ahead of time, which means you only need to reheat the beef and set up your toppings. Easy, right?
TIPS & VARIATIONS.
Switch Up the Toppings: The beauty of tacos is that you can use whatever toppings you like. Try adding pickled onions, jalapeños, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavour.
Use Corn or Flour Tortillas: I love the softness of flour tortillas, but if you prefer a gluten-free option, go with corn tortillas. You can even try hard taco shells if you like a bit of crunch!
Grain-Free Option: Want to keep it low-carb? Skip the tortillas altogether and serve the beef in lettuce wraps for a lighter option.
Add a Sauce: A quick drizzle of spicy mayo or a tangy lime crema can take these tacos to the next level. Just mix a little lime juice and zest into sour cream or Greek yoghurt, and you’ve got a fresh, creamy sauce!
These Beef Tacos are the perfect combination of flavour, texture, and simplicity. With tender, flavourful Honey Garlic Beef, fresh veggies, and soft tortillas, they’re guaranteed to be a hit with your family or guests. Whether you’re hosting taco Tuesdays or looking for a quick and satisfying meal, this recipe has you covered.
