Southwest-spiced ground beef is seared with onion and coated in a bold Tex-Mex paste, then piled into warm flour tortillas. Shredded Monterey Jack, a creamy cilantro-lime cabbage slaw, and cool sour cream layer on richness and crunch. A shower of fresh cilantro finishes each taco with a bright, herbaceous note.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook Onion & Beef
1
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.

  • Add beef* and Southwest Spice Blend. (TIP: Not sure how much beef to use? Refer to the 'Before you start' section at left for guidance.) Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.

Make Slaw
2
  • While beef cooks, in a large bowl, combine cabbage, mayonnaise, half the cilantro, half the vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, salt, and pepper (all the vinegar and 2 tsp sugar for 4 servings).

Finish & Serve
3
  • Stir Tex-Mex paste into pan with beef mixture until fully coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat.

  • Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.

  • Divide tortillas between plates and fill with beef filling, Monterey Jack, slaw, sour cream, and remaining cilantro.
