Ingredients

(serves 4)

2 cups of MaSeCa white corn masa

water

2 8oz sirloin steaks, trimmed

1 tbsp coconut or nut oil

4 handfuls mixed salad leaves

1 lime juiced

1 large tomato de-seeded chopped

1 tsp coriander chopped

1 habanero chopped

4 tbsp sour cream

1 avocado mashed

1 clove garlic grated

1 tbsp red pepper finely chopped

Sea salt

Black pepper

First make the fresh tacos, this is a simple and quick job, place the masa in a bowl and add enough water to bring together in a tight dough ball.  Tear of a golf ball size and roll into a ball.

Cover your taco press with cling film top and bottom and press out your tacos, if using a rolling pin lay the ball on a sheet of cling film and top with another sheet and using your rolling pin roll out your tacos.

Cook the tacos for approx one minute on each side on a cast iron skillet, keep warm wrapped in a tea towel while you sear the steak and make the salsa.

Heat a skillet fairly hot, rub the steaks with a little oil and season with salt and pepper, sear all sides of the steak for around 30 seconds on each side, remove from the pan and leave to cool on the side.  Make the salsa and avocado while the steaks cool.  Slice the steaks on the diagonal and load your tacos with the mixed salad leaves, topped with the steak, avocado, sour cream and salsa. 

The Salsa

Mix the tomatoes, habanero as little or as much as you like, a sprinkling of sea salt and black pepper, coriander and a tsp of lime juice, mix together.

Avocado Guacamole

Mix the grated garlic, red pepper and mashed avocado together, season with a sprinkling of sea salt and black pepper and a some of the lime juice.
