Techniques
- 1 whole onion

Cook the finely chopped onion in a little oil over medium heat until soft and golden, about eight minutes.
- 6 cloves garlic cloves
Add the six grated garlic cloves and warm through until they melt into the onions.
- 2 lb ground beef
Add two pounds of ground beef and cook over medium heat until most of the pinkness goes.
- salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
Season with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, a heaping teaspoon of sweet paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, a teaspoon of ground cumin, a teaspoon of ground coriander, one to two teaspoons of dried thyme and a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce.
- 1–2 tsp dried thyme
- Worcestershire sauce
Cook over medium to medium high heat, mixing, until the meat is fully cooked, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- ½ whole onion
- 1 whole bell pepper
- grape tomatoes
- 1 whole avocado
- lemon juice
- olive oil
- salt
- serrano or jalapeno
- lime
- cilantro
For the salad, chop half an onion, a bell pepper and lots of grape tomatoes, add an avocado, lots of lemon juice, a little olive oil, salt, lots of lime and finely chopped cilantro, and mix.
- corn tortillas
- shredded cheese
Lay corn tortillas on a cutting board, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese, top with the ground beef, a little more cheese and another tortilla, and press down.
Assembling and crisping the tortillas
- olive oil
Cook in a cast iron skillet over medium heat with a tiny bit of olive oil, three to four minutes per side until crispy; for softer ones just warm through until the cheese melts on both sides.
- shawarma sauce
Cut into fours and use them to scoop up the salad, or fold them in half with the salad inside like a taco, with shawarma sauce or sour cream.
