We love inventing new flavour combinations that work in tacos, and we think these Chinese takeaway inspired ones are some of our favourites. With loads of umami from mushrooms, hoisin sauce and tender beef, plus crisp lettuce and creamy aioli, this meal puts the fun into fusion!

Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Shred the cos lettuce (see ingredients list). Thinly slice the long green chilli (see ingredients list), if using. Thinly slice the button mushrooms. Grate the carrot (unpeeled).
In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and the water. Set aside.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the beef mince and garlic and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms and carrot to the pan and cook until tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the hoisin sauce mixture and stir through. Cook until the mixture has thickened, 2-3 minutes.
Heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press or on a plate in the microwave for 10 second bursts, until warmed through.
Roughly chop the coriander. Bring everything to the table to serve. Build your tacos by spreading a layer of garlic aioli over a tortilla. Add some cos lettuce and a helping of the hoisin beef and veggies. Garnish with the coriander and chilli (if using).
