Five-Spice Sesame Beef Tacos

While the onion is pickling, finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Thinly slice the cucumber into 0.5cm batons. Shred the cos lettuce leaves. Thinly slice the long red chilli (if using). Grate the carrot (unpeeled).

In a second small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey and rice wine vinegar (for the beef). Set aside.

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a plate.

Return the large frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the beef mince and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, for 3-4 minutes, or until browned. TIP: Add the onion with the beef if you're not pickling! Add the garlic and five spice sesame blend and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir through the soy mixture until heated through, then remove from the heat. TIP: Five spice has an aniseed flavour. Use less if you're not a fan. Heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press or on a plate in the microwave for 10 second bursts, or until warmed through.
