Preparation
Cook & coat the beef
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the beef* and ½ the onions; season with ¾ of the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through. Add the BBQ sauce; toss well.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, juice the lime. Core and thinly slice the sweet pepper. In a small bowl, make the pickled onions by combining the remaining onions, ½ the lime juice, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Make the spiced mayo & slaw
In a second small bowl, combine the mayo, remaining lime juice and spices, 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions), a drizzle of oil and a big pinch of salt. In a medium bowl, combine the carrots, sweet pepper and ½ the spiced mayo.
Warm the tortillas
Wrap the tortillas in a slightly dampened paper towel. On a plate, microwave, in 10 sec. increments, until warm.
Plate your dish
Divide the tortillas between your plates. Top with the beef, a spoonful of the slaw and a spoonful of the remaining spiced mayo. Garnish with the pickled onions and cheese. Serve the remaining slaw and spiced mayo on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
