Beef Tacos
with Salsa and Salad
Pork carnitas is a traditional Mexican dish of slow-cooked pork shoulder that's shredded and pan-fried to give it a crispy texture. We've created a quick, kid-friendly version using ground beef. The secret is cooking the meat until it's dark brown!

Cooking Steps
- Zest, then juice lime.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Thinly slice green onions, keeping whites and greens separate.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, beef and green onion whites. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 5-6 min.** Season with salt and pepper. Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Add garlic, Mexican Seasoning, tomato sauce base, 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar to the beef. Cook, stirring often, until warmed through, 1-2 min.
- Meanwhile, add tomatoes, half the lime zest, half the lime juice, remaining green onions and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. (NOTE: This is your salsa!)
- Add remaining lime zest, remaining lime juice, 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. (NOTE: This is your dressing!)
- Wrap tortillas in paper towels. Microwave until tortillas are warm and flexible, 1 min. (TIP: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm tortillas!)
- Add spinach to the large bowl with dressing. Toss to combine.
- Divide tortillas between plates. Spread sour cream onto tortillas, then top with cheese, beef filling and salsa.
- Serve spinach salad on the side.
