Taco Mince?

[auds]

has anybody made this in the TM - not sure if it will work as usually I brown the mince on a very high heat first?

Thanks in advance

Yep. I make it quite often. I just use the basic recipe and the only problem I found at first was it was too watery so after a bit of tweaking I now have it down pat.

1 onion quartered
1 lge clove garlic
500g mince
taco seasoning (I have now used up my masterfood seasoning and will be making my own from the forum now on)
1 can of tomatoes
1 tbs tomato paste
1 tbs grapeseed oil (any oil)

On 5 I chop the onion and garlic and after scraping down I add the oil.
Saute on varoma/stir with MC lid off for about 4mins
Add the mince and cook on Speed 1 for about 10 mins or until all the pinkness has gone. If there are any lge lumps left in there, just break them up with a spoon.
Add the tomato paste and and continue cooking for 1 minute.
Add the can of tomatoes with taco seasoning and a bit of water (I wash the tomato can out) Continue cooking on Varoma, Speed 3 for 15 minutes with the basket on top to avoid splashing.
Just check the consistency and if a drier sauce is required, just add a minute or two. If a chunkier sauce is required, use the reverse blade. The speed has to be about 3 or 4 to avoid the mince sticking and burning on the bottom.

HELP!! Just made wombats taco mince and epic fail! Did it in reverse as we like our meat.. Well.. Meaty i guess but it was so fine I could have put it through a strainer! I knew it would happen as I made chilli con carne a couple of weeks back so this time I thought I would put the blade on reverse. Still ruined it any suggestions? I know my consultant cooks the meat in the fry pan and then adds it but I don't see the point in that. I may aswell just cook it all in the fry pan in that case.

When you're cooking mince dishes in the TMX, you need to use meat you've minced in it, not bought mince. Bought mince is too finely minced and will break up too much.

ah ha! Thanks Meganjane. I'm yet to try mincing my own meat. Will definitley try it next time. Thanks heaps.

i used bought mince in the pasta bake I made and although it was fine it wasnt too fine and certainly wouldnt have fit through a strainer.

I like mine well separated - I hate it when it clumps up!
