- 1 Tbsp (14 g) Tahitian Lime Oil

- 14 1/2 oz (410 g) diced tomatoes (1 can | Drained)
- 1 Tbsp (16 g) White balsamic Vinegar

- 1/2 cup (65 g) tomato basil sauce
ASSEMBLY
- 2 cups shredded salad (Salad of Your Choosing)
- 4 tomatoes (Chopped)
- 1/2 cup (55 g) shredded cheese (Mexican-Blend Cheese)
Instructions
TACO CUPS
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Place your Muffin Flexipan® Tray on the top of your medium perforated baking sheet.
- Fit your Small Flour Tortilla into each well of your Flexipan®. Bake for 15 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your tacos from 12min). Set aside to cool down.
MICROWAVE TACO MEAT PREPARATION
- Peel and cut your red onion into quarters and transfer it with the garlic cloves directly into your Eco Chop. Give it a few pulls to chop it to your liking. Set aside.
- Place your Large Round Flexipan® Mold on the top of a microwave safe plate. Add your chopped onion/garlic and mix in the lime olive oil. Cover with Octagonal Bonmat. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
- Carefully remove the Octagonal Bonmat. Add the ground beef to your Flexipan®. Use your spatula to break the ground beef. Mix, then cover with Octagonal Bonmat and microwave for another 3 minutes. Repeat this step for 3 minutes more, using your spatula to break the ground beef in between. If there is extra liquid, fold your Flexipan® in half and drain.
- Add the drained canned diced tomatoes to your Eco Chop, along with the spices (chili powder, ground cumin). Season with Salt and Pepper (to taste). Give it a few pulls to chop it to your liking. Transfer your preparation to your meat. Add the tomato sauce of your choice. Mix until combined. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Let it cool down for about 5 minutes while you assemble your cups.
ASSEMBLY
- Place the tortilla cups on your service tray. Add a layer of shredded salad, chopped tomatoes, taco meat and enjoy with shredded cheese on top. Serve 2-3 cups per person with a side of rice. Bon Appétit!
