1

Shave lettuce lengthways and put in a serving dish

2

Slice red onion and put in a serving dish

3

Sour cream put in a serving dish

4

Pick the rest of the herbs, wash and have ready in a small serving dish

5

Steam Soft Tortillas ¾-inch in a tea towel in a steamer or wrapped in a microwave as per directions on the packet

Guacamole
6

Dice the avocado in 5mm cubes

7

Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl gently (do not mash, guacamole should have a nice texture not mush)

8

Season to taste and place in a serving dish

Mixed Mushroom Taco Filling
9

Dice all the mushrooms, stalks and all, into 1cm cubes

10

Fine dice the brown onion and sauté in a pan on medium heat with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Once translucent, turn the heat up, add some extra olive oil and put your taco seasoning in (the extra oil is because the mushrooms will soak the oil up!), then throw your mushrooms in. If you have a small pan, do it in two batches.

11

Toss the mushrooms and once ¾ softened add the tomato passata sauce and leave for one minute till bubbling.

12

Season with extra salt, pepper and some lemon juice!
