From the Testing Team

Kellie S – I made this today for a friend as my guinea pig She gave this a 10/10! Spuds cooked in the air fryer, would probably add parsley to the salsa as well. Definitely going to be a regular for me.
Mark R – This is great, nice and filling. The avos in my order were hard so i substituted corn in the salsa.
Leia S – Made the mince only. I left the chilli powder out completely & served it on nachos with corn chips, sour cream lots of cheese & fresh avocado.
The boys loved it. Usually Saturday nights it’s nachos or burgers quick & easy. I normally use the gluten free taco mix from the shops & I had none left. The boys smashed it tonight. Winning. No more buying the gluten free taco packet mix.
Renee H – Was a very big hit in my house. Had it ready and served the other day when the kids came in the door at 3:30pm off the school bus. There was 3 teenagers and myself – all starving. Not one bit of leftover except some sour cream sauce. This will be popular. Next time I’d like to try with nacho chips and not potatoes.
Shauna D – I really enjoyed this one as the low carb option and using salsa A was absolutely delicious.

FAQs

What if I don’t like cottage cheese?
The idea is that the cottage cheese is transformed to be more of a sour cream to mix through your Mexican spiced taco mince and fresh salsa. If you don’t care about calories or the protein, you can simply replace the sour cream sauce with actual sour cream.

Why can’t I brown the mince in the Thermomix?
You can brown it in batches if you wish but it is just easier and a far better result/texture to pan-fry it.
