Dice 1 small onion finely, mince 3 garlic cloves. Drain and rinse 200g canned black beans. Shred iceberg lettuce, dice tomato, slice jalapeños. Have 350g extra lean beef mince, 8 corn tortillas, cumin, smoked paprika, chipotle powder, oregano, tomato purée, beef stock, and lime ready.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Drape corn tortillas over oven rack bars and bake 8 minutes until lightly crisped into taco shape. Remove and set aside.
