Method:
- Preheat oven to 180 C or 160 C fan forced. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Place taco shells slightly apart on tray, leaving the provided ‘wedge’ in the centre of the shells. Heat for 5 minutes or until hot, but not browned.
- Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, add mince. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up mince, for 5 minutes or until browned.
- Add taco seasoning and ¼ cup cold water. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally for 10-12 minutes or until sauce reduces and thickens slightly.
- Spoon 3 tablespoons of mince mixture into each taco shell. Top with lettuce and cheese and sweet chilli sauce.
