Ingredients

Serves :
  • Olive oil cooking spray


  • 400g beef mince


  • 30g packet reduced-salt taco seasoning mix


  • 1 cup self-raising flour


  • 1 cup milk


  • 1 egg


  • 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh coriander


  • 20g butter, melted


  • 1 large avocado, mashed


  • 1 medium tomato, finely chopped


  • 1 tablespoon lime juice


  • 1/4 cup sour cream


  • Extra fresh coriander leaves, to serve

Directions

  • Lightly spray a medium frying pan with oil. Heat over high heat. Add mince. Cook, breaking up mince with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until browned. Add seasoning mix. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add ¾ cup cold water. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until mixture is thick. Remove from heat. Cover to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, combine flour and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Make a well in centre. Whisk milk and egg in a jug. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture. Whisk until smooth. Stir in half the chopped coriander.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Brush pan with a little melted butter. Pour 1/3 cup batter into pan. Swirl pan to cover base. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until bubbles appear on surface. Turn. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter to make 4 pancakes.
  • Combine avocado, tomato, lime juice and remaining coriander in a bowl. Place pancakes on plates. Top with mince mixture, guacamole and sour cream. Serve topped with extra coriander.
