SERVES 6 tacos

Ingredients-

  • 2 steaks (Sirloin works perfectly, making 6 tacos)

  • 1 tablespoon Cajun spices

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For Avocado Creme:

  • 1 avocado

  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

  • Juice of 1/2 lime

  • 1/4 garlic clove, finely grated

  • Pinch of salt and pepper

For Tomato Salsa:

  • 1 tomato, finely diced

  • 1/8 red onion, finely diced

  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped coriander

For Taco Shells:

  • Mini tortillas (warmed in the oven)


Instructions-

  1. Trim all fat from the steaks and coat them evenly with Cajun spices, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Set the steaks aside.

  2. Prepare the Avocado Creme by blending together the avocado, sour cream, lime juice, finely grated garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

  3. Create the Tomato Salsa by finely dicing a tomato, red onion, and fresh coriander.

  4. Warm the mini tortillas in the oven, creating a perfect vessel for your taco fillings.

  5. In a hot pan, cook the seasoned steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Start cooking in oil, then add butter for the last 2 minutes of cooking. To ensure it's cooked to your liking, you can cut into the steak, which you'll do anyway before serving. Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before cutting it fully to serve.

  6. Assemble the tacos by placing slices of the Cajun-seasoned steak into the warmed tortillas. Top with avocado creme and tomato salsa for a burst of flavour and texture.

  7. Serve and enjoy!
