Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice onion (see ingredients). • In a small bowl, combine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. Scrunch onion in your hands, then add to pickling liquid with just enough water to cover onion. Stir to coat and set aside.
TIP: If you don't like pickled onion, cook the onion in step 3 with the beef!
• While the onion is pickling, grate carrot. Thinly slice fresh chilli (if using). • In a medium bowl, combine carrot, baby spinach leaves and chilli. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Set aside.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook beef strips in batches, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium-low, then return all the beef back to the pan. • Add garlic, the soy sauce and honey, turning beef to coat, 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. • Meanwhile, microwave mini flour tortillas on a plate for 10 second bursts, until warmed through.
Little cooks: Help warm the tortillas with oven gloves and under adult supervision. Be careful, the plate can get hot!
• Drain pickled onion. Top tortillas with salad, honey-soy beef and quick-pickled onion. • Spoon over garlic aioli and sprinkle with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Take the lead and help build the tacos!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The honey-soy marinade and pickled onions are a winning combination that reviewers consistently loved. The crushed peanuts were a popular finishing touch that added extra depth.
- Ease of prep: This is a quick and easy meal that even kids and teenagers can help put together.
- Suggestions: Add cheese, avocado, or extra salad ingredients to bulk out the filling; some reviewers also swapped spinach for lettuce or coleslaw. Cook the chilli into the beef rather than using it raw if you prefer a milder heat. Reduce the soy sauce slightly if you find the flavour too salty, and consider adding a little extra honey to balance it out.
- Next-day meals: Leftovers kept well and made a satisfying lunch the following day, according to several reviewers.
- Portions: A recurring theme in reviews is that the meat quantity feels light relative to the number of tortillas provided, particularly for families with teenagers or larger appetites.
