Beef Taco Potato Smash Cups Recipe
How to make Beef Taco Potato Smash Cups
Method
- Boil the potatoes whole in a large pot of salted water for 20 minutes or until soft. Gently remove and place on a tea towel to dry.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (or 160°C fan-forced). Generously brush oil into each hole of a 12-hole metal muffin tin. Add a potato on top and use a pestle to squish it down, creating a little cup to accommodate the filling. Brush generously with more oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until crispy and golden.
- Meanwhile, mash or purée the avocado. Season with salt and lime juice to taste.
- Sauté onion in 1 tablespoon of oil over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the beef and brown for 5 minutes, then add taco seasoning and 90ml water. Cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
- Gently transfer potato cups to a board or platter. Fill with minced beef and top with tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and avocado. Sprinkle with coriander and chilli and serve with lime wedges.
Tip: Oil the potato cups well to allow them to crisp up and colour nicely.
Optional: Try swapping out the beef with black beans for a vegetarian alternative.
