1.Heat oil ikn a frying pan. Add meat, with garlic and spices. Brown over a med. heat, stirring frequently to break up any lumps. Season, cook 5mins. Set aside to cool slightly.

2. Warm taco shells according to pkt instructions. Don't let them get too crisp. Spoon lettuce, onion, tomatoes and avocado slices into taco shells. Top with sour cream followed by the minced beef or turkey mixture.

3. Sprinkle grated cheese into tacos and serve immediately. Tacos are eaten with the fingers, so have plenty of paper napkins handy.
