  3. Heat a frying pan over high heat and add olive oil and cook the onion.
  4. Add the beef mince to the frying pan to cook.
  5. Once the ground beef is cooked, add the taco seasoning mix to the frying pan and stir.
  6. Bring it to simmer and cook for a further 10-12 minutes to reduce the liquid and allow it to thicken.

Notes

  • *1 Does not have to be ice burg lettuce. I used just salad leaves for update photos. 
  • *2 If you don't have purple onion, can be substituted with brown onion like I did.
  • *3 It will make about 2-3 tbsp mix. This recipe only requires 1 tbsp of the mix.
