Instructions

  1. Finely chop the onion. Dice the tomato and mango into small cubes. Juice the lemon. Cut the long green pepper into thin strips, removing seeds if desired.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with half the lemon juice and a pinch of smoked paprika. Set aside.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green pepper strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until charred in spots, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  4. In the same skillet, add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  5. Stir in the blackening spice, remaining smoked paprika and beef stock concentrate. Add a splash of water (about 2 tablespoons) and cook for 1-2 minutes until saucy.
  6. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  7. Assemble tacos: fill each tortilla with the saucy beef, charred peppers, diced mango and tomato. Drizzle with the smoky sour cream and serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

For extra char, cook the peppers without moving them too much.

If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the green pepper.

Warm tortillas directly over a gas flame for a smoky touch.

FAQ

Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour?

Yes, corn tortillas work well. Warm them before assembling to prevent cracking.

How do I store leftovers?

Store components separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat beef and peppers in a skillet and assemble fresh.

Can I make this vegetarian?

Absolutely! Substitute the ground beef with plant-based crumbles or black beans and use vegetable stock concentrate.
