TIP – We used McCormick Grill Mates Chipotle & Roasted Garlic Dry Marinade.

Ingredients

1.4kg beef chuck steak, trimmed

40g sachet Chipotle & Roasted Garlic Dry Marinade (see Tip)

400g can diced tomatoes

2 cups grated tasty cheese

135g packet (12) taco shells

1 large avocado, mashed

Method

Step 1.

Toss beef with marinade in a large bowl.

Step 2.

Heat an oiled, large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add beef in two batches. Cook for about 3 mins on each side, or until browned. Transfer to the removable bowl of a 5 to 6-litre capacity slow cooker. Stir in tomatoes. Cover with lid.

Step 3.

Cook on Low for 4 hours, or until beef is tender. Using tongs, remove beef from the slow cooker. Shred into thin strands. Return to the slow cooker. Stir to coat.

Step 4.

Sprinkle 2 tbsp cheese on the inside of each taco shell. Place on a large oven tray lined with baking paper.

Step 5.

Cook in a 190°C preheated oven for about 5 mins, or until cheese is melted and tacos are light golden. Fill taco shells with avocado and beef.

Step 6.

Serve with chopped tomato and fresh coriander leaves (optional).
