Ingredients

  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 chillies
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2x400 ml cans, chopped tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 T cumin
  • 1 1/2 T coriander
  • 1 t cinnamon
  • 1 rotisserie chicken
  • 2x400 ml red kidney beans
  • 125 ml red wine vinegar
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 12 taco shells
  • Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
  • Fresh lime juice, squeezed

Cooking Instructions

Fry 1 finely chopped onion with one or two chillies and 2 cloves chopped garlic for 5 minutes until softened.

Add 2 x 400 ml cans chopped tomatoes, 11⁄2 T cumin, 11⁄2 T coriander and 1 t cinnamon.

Stir, then simmer for 30 minutes. Season to taste and add the shredded meat of 1 rotisserie chicken and 2 x 400 ml cans red kidney beans, drained, then simmer for a further 5 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring 1⁄2 cup red wine vinegar to a gentle simmer and add 1 sliced red onion. Simmer for 2 minutes until the onions soften slightly and take on a lovely pink colour. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Heat 12 taco shells in a preheated oven for 4 to 5 minutes, until warmed through and crunchy. (Or follow these easy steps to make your own tacos.)

Serve the chicken con carne with fresh coriander, pink pickled onions, slow-roasted tomatoes and peppers and sour cream.

Spoon guacamole over the assembled tacos and season with freshly ground black pepper and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
