METHOD

Preheat the oven to 180° C

Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the chicken mince and cook over high heat for 5 minutes or until the mince is golden brown. Mash with a fork while browning to break up the mince. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook over medium heat for a further 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the mexican tomatoes and tomato paste. Simmer for 10 minutes or until the sauce reduces and thickens.

Meanwhile, place the taco shells onto a baking tray. Heat in the preheated oven for 5 minutes or until they are warm.

Serve the taco shells with the chicken mince mixture, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Top with salsa if desired.
