1 lime
¼ head iceberg lettuce
½ packet haloumi cheese
sour cream
1 brown onion
100g (1 packet) taco seasoning mix (or make your own)
3 tbsp tomato passata sauce
1 packet soft tacos
extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
Guacamole:
1 avocado
¼ red onion, finely diced
½ jalapeño pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
½ cup coriander, finely chopped
½ cup continental parsley, finely chopped
½ cup round leaf mint, finely chopped
½ lemon, juiced
75ml extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Salsa:
3 vine-ripened tomatoes, diced into 5mm cubes
½ cup coriander, finely chopped
½ cup parsley, finely chopped
½ cup mint, finely chopped
½ red onion, finely diced
75ml extra virgin olive oil
30ml red wine or sherry vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Shave lettuce lengthways and put in a serving dish. Slice red onion and put in a serving dish. Put sour cream into a serving dish. Pick the rest of the herbs, wash and have ready in a small serving dish
Steam soft tortillas in a tea towel in a steamer or wrapped in a microwave as per directions on the packet.
Guacamole:
Dice the avocado into 5mm cubes. Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl gently (do not mash, guacamole should have a nice texture not mush).
Season to taste and place in a serving dish.
Mixed mushroom filling:
Dice all the mushrooms, stalks and all, into 1cm cubes.
Finely dice the brown onion and sauté in a pan on medium heat with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Once translucent, turn the heat up, add some extra olive oil and put your taco seasoning in (the extra oil is because the mushrooms will soak the oil up), then throw your mushrooms in. If you have a small pan, do it in two batches.
Toss the mushrooms and once three-quarters softened, add the tomato passata sauce and leave for one minute till bubbling.
Season with extra salt, pepper and some lemon juice.
Build your taco, adding the condiments you like and enjoy.
