Cheat’s beef tacos

Method

1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and fry for 1-2 minutes until softened. Add the spice mix, fry for 1 minute, then add the mince, increase the heat, and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown all over.
2. Pour in 300ml water, bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, adding more water if necessary. Add the zest and juice of 1 lime and season to taste.
3. Meanwhile, make the tomato salsa by mixing the tomatoes with the basil, 1-2 tbsp olive oil and a squeeze of lime, and season to taste.
