METHOD

To prepare the guacamole, peel and pit the avocado and add the flesh to a mixing bowl. Add a teaspoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of fresh coriander leaves, the lime zest, � tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roughly mash together to combine and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium/high heat. Add the beef strips and fry until browned all over. Set aside.

Heat a second tablespoon of oil in the pan and add the onion and pepper slices. Cook over a medium heat until just tender.

Add all the dried spices to the pan and stir to combine.

To serve, divide the beef and peppers evenly between the romaine leaves and top with sour cream, guacamole and spring onions. Scatter with the remaining fresh coriander.
