Cooking Steps

1

• SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! In a medium bowl, combine garlic paste, Tex-Mex spice blend, pork strips and a drizzle of olive oil. • Drain sweetcorn. • Slice cucumber into thin sticks. • Slice avocado in half, scoop out flesh and thinly slice. • In a second medium bowl, combine slaw mix, avocado, half the garlic aioli and a drizzle of white wine vinegar. Season.

2

• Heat a large frying pan over high heat. • Cook corn kernels until lightly charred, 4-5 minutes. • Transfer to bowl with the slaw and toss to combine. Season to taste.

TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are “popping” out.

3

If you've swapped to beef strips, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook beef strips, tossing, in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Transfer to a plate. • Microwave mini flour tortillas on a plate in 10 second bursts, or until warmed through. TIP: Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.

Fill each tortilla with slaw, Mexican-spiced beef and cucumber.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Some found the tacos flavourful, while others thought they were bland. Adding extra spice could boost the taste.
  • Ease of prep: The tacos were quick and easy to cook, with beef as a popular protein swap for the pork.
  • Suggestions: For more flavour, consider increasing the amount of Tex-Mex spice blend used in the recipe.
  • Leftovers: The beef version of the tacos held up well, tasting just as good when enjoyed the next day.
