After watching Turbo, the movie about a snail that could race with super cars, I got really excited about Tacos (the main character that adopted Turbo sells Tacos with his brother). I vividly remember Jodi made it once for me to try back in Perth but I seriously can't remember what's in there.
So I googled up for some taco recipes and mix-and-match them to make this super easy beef tacos for dinner!For the Salsa, I pretty much followed Jamie Oliver's super simple recipe. What you need:
One large or two small tomatoes roughly chopped, sliced one whole onion, chopped coriander, 1/2 lemon juice.
What to do:
1) Put all ingredients into a bowl.
For the Guacamole, I choose the simplest recipe with minimal use of ingredients. This particular method is the fastest one where you can make with the simplest cutlery available! So what you need are:
One large avocado, juice for quarter of a lemon, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
What to do:
1) On a chopping board, cut the avocado into cubes.
For the beef filling, what you need are:
Some chopped red onions, chopped garlic, chopped green capsicum, minced beef, a small can of tomato puree, ground cumin, paprika, salt and pepper to taste
What to do:
1) Simmer the garlic and onions in a pan.
2) Until they turn a little brownish, add in the capsicum.
As for the Taco shells, you can easily find them in the supermarket, normally at the same isle as the breads. All you need to do is just heat them up a little bit in an oven.
Once everything is done, it's dinner time! :D

The best thing is, it turned out to be very yummy! The beef was flavourful and juicy while the Salsa gives it a little sour and refreshing kick while the lettuce just sort of balance up the nutrition department of the dish. And I know beef aren't that healthy but the dish really makes a good light dinner, we didn't feel too full eating like 6 tacos each! LOL! Deardo actually suggested the next time we should use minced pork in stead.
Just in case, if you are wondering why isn't there Guacamole in my tacos? That's because my avocado wasn't ripe enough yet when I made this but I manage to make it days after to go with another home-cooked dinner.
