Ingredients

  • 450 g Beef sirloin strips
  • 1.5 tsp Chipotle powder
  • 3 tbsp Fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 90 g Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 medium Avocado
  • 1/2 cup Pico de gallo (diced tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, toss the beef strips with chipotle powder, lime juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt; let marinate while you preheat a grill or grill pan over medium‑high heat (5 min).

  2. 2

    Grill the beef strips for about 3–4 minutes per side until nicely charred but still pink inside; remove and let rest 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    While the beef rests, prepare cheese‑crust shells: spread shredded mozzarella evenly on a parchment‑lined baking sheet (about 3‑inch circles), bake in a preheated 220 °C oven for 5‑7 minutes until melted and golden, then let cool briefly to firm up.

  4. 4

    Assemble each taco by placing a cheese‑crust shell on a plate, topping with grilled beef strips, sliced avocado, and a generous spoonful of pico de gallo.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately, optionally squeezing extra lime juice over the tacos.
