c) Season with salt and pepper.
a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
b) Add the garlic, Central American style spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and tomato puree to the mince. Stir-fry for 1 min. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

a) Just before you're ready to serve, pop the tortillas onto a baking tray and into the oven to warm through, 1-2 mins.
a) When everything's ready, lay the tortillas onto your serving plates (3 per person).
b) Make your tacos by starting with the baby gem, then add spoonfuls of the mince, cheese and tomato salsa - as much as you'd like.
c) Finish with a dollop of soured cream.
d) Serve the lime wedges alongside for squeezing over. TIP: Tacos are best enjoyed eaten by hand - get stuck in!
Enjoy!
