Everyone loves tacos; they are most definitely a firm favourite of mine! This recipe makes them much healthier by using lots of grated hidden vegetables and organic beef mince. Carrots are an excellent super food to add to your meals. They are rich in beta carotene that the body converts to vitamin A; this helps to support immune function. Courgettes also contain 40% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin A… so it is time to eat up!
Ingredients:
- 340g of organic beef mince from Helen Browning’s
- 1 small courgette (shredded)

- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 60ml water
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
