For the Potatoes:

2. Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into 1 inch cubes and season with the spices.
3. Spread out on a non stick baking tray and spray with cooking oil. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, turning occasionally, so they don’t burn.

For the Taco Beef:

1. In a frying pan, melt the butter, then add the beef mince and fry for about 5 minutes, until brown.
2. Add the tomato paste and taco seasoning mix, and fry for a further 5 minutes. If too dry, add a bit of water.
3. Remove from heat, and sprinkle the cheese over the mince. Leave to melt.

For the Pico de Gallo:

1. Finely dice the tomatoes, onion, and peppers.
2. Finely chop the coriander,
3. In a bowl, add all the chopped ingredients, the lime juice, and the spices, and mix thoroughly.
4. If meal prepping, store separately from the mince and potatoes which will need reheating.

For the Chipotle Spicy Sauce:

1. Mix all the ingredients together, thoroughly.
2. Can be made in advance, and stored in the fridge.

To Serve:

• The mince, potatoes, Pico de Gallo, and sauce can all be mixed together, or served separately.
