Budget beef tacos
Serve this dish in the middle of the table, sharing-style, so everyone can build thier own tacos. You can swap the soft tortillas for crispy taco shells if you like, but they will cost a few pence more. This recipe is part of a budget meal plan for six. In November 2023, this recipe was costed at an average of £7.40 when checking prices at four UK supermarkets. It is designed to be made in conjunction with a low-cost store-cupboard.
