Prepare the guacamole
Whilst the taco meet continues to cook, prepare the guacamole by removing the flesh of the avocado and mashing it with the back of a fork in a small bowl
Add the red onion and half the lime juice.
Season lightly with salt, pepper and optional chilli flakes
Prepare the fresh salsa
Combine the cherry tomatoes, red onion and coriander in a small bowl
Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and stir gently
Start the taco meat
Heat 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the lean beef mince and cook until lightly browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as you go
Stir in the taco seasoning to coat the mince evenly.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and reduce to a simmer for 10–12 minutes.
Prepare the base components
Warm the brown rice, quinoa & chia seed mix according to packet instructions.
Drain and rinse the corn and/or black beans (unless using the Snack Time mix)
Optional: pat the corn dry with paper towel and lightly char in a small fry pan over medium heat
Make the air-fried corn chips
Slice each tortilla into 6 triangles
Lightly spray each side with olive oil
Airfry at 180°C for 8 minutes, shaking halfway
Assemble the bowls
Aim for a balanced plate [reference the plate model]
