This simple warm salad is full of crunchy textures, and handy to make when time is short. Serve with soured cream or Greek-style yoghurt to balance the hot chillies. Delicious!

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 14 mins
1.
Fry the mince: Heat a large, heavy-based frying pan until hot, then add the minced beef and fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring to break up any lumps.
2.
Add the flavourings: Add the garlic and chilli flakes, then cook for a further 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring often. Stir in the tomato paste, oregano and lemon juice, then cook on a low heat for 2-3 minutes. Season.
3.
Make the salad: While the mince is cooking, put the iceberg lettuce, avocado slices, onion and tomatoes in a wide salad bowl. Add the meat mixture and toss well to mix evenly. Scatter some of the tortilla chips over and put the remainder in a separate bowl. Serve at once.
Swaps

*For crushed chilli flakes and sun-dried tomato paste, use 2-3 tbsp sweet chilli dipping sauce, and replace the oregano with chopped fresh coriander. *Instead of lemon juice, use lime juice.

To serve

Add more tortilla chips or some toasted chunks of pitta bread if feeding a hungry family.

…cooking tip

To feed more people, stir in a 400g can red kidney beans, borlotti or pinto beans, drained and rinsed, at the end of step 2 and heat the mixture through thoroughly.

…shopping tip

Steak mince is more expensive than minced beef as it is made from tender, lean cuts of meat, but it makes a less fatty dish.
