A summer favourite from Lucy Tweed, these tacos are perfect for casual entertaining.

2 1/2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 fresh jalapenos, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp each ground paprika & smoked paprika
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 x 700g rib eye or sirloin beef, trimmed, very thinly sliced into strips
2 sweet corn, kernels removed
12 thin slices firm mozzarella
12 store-bought mini soft tacos
Sliced pickled jalapenos & coriander leaves, to serve

Method

1.

Heat a lightly greased barbecue flat plate or large frypan to high heat. Drizzle oil over flat plate and add the onion, jalapeno, garlic, spices and oregano, and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until onion begins to soften. Add the beef and corn, and cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes until beef begins to brown and is cooked. Season to taste. Move beef mixture to the side of the flat plate.
2.

Using a metal spatula divide beef mixture into 12 small portions and, working with 4 portions at a time, top each with a slice of mozzarella. Once the cheese begins to melt, cover each serve with a taco and allow the heat to come through.
3.

Scoop each taco up with a metal spatula, gathering all the melting cheese and filling as you go. Alternatively, preheat tacos with cheese on a tray in a moderate oven and once cheese has melted and tacos are hot, top with taco mixture. Top with pickled jalapeno and coriander leaves to serve.
