Pickle and choose from a great selection of flavours in these family-friendly tacos! Ground beef gets dosed with our Mexican Moments spice blend to give it a warm and mellow buzz as it browns to moist and tender. The contrasting slaw is a nifty mix of cabbage, sliced string peas for light-green crispness and cilantro for sharp green fragrance. Rounds of red onions, briefly boiled and pickled in apple cider vinegar, pump up the punchiness.

Preparation
Make the pickled onions
In a small pot, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Add the onions and boil, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until softened. Drain and transfer to a small bowl. Add ⅓ of the vinegar and S&P; stir well.
Cook the beef
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the beef*; season with the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through. Transfer to a bowl.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the string peas; pull off the tough string that runs the length of each pod. Thinly slice each pod on an angle. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stems.
Warm the tortillas
Stack and tightly wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil. Bake directly on an oven rack, 6 to 8 min., until heated through.
Make the slaw
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cabbage, string peas, cilantro, remaining vinegar, 4 tbsp oil, any remaining onion pickling liquid and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the tortillas between your plates. Top with the beef, slaw and pickled onions. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
