Taco Seasoning:
- In a small bowl, combine all the spices and mix thoroughly until well blended.

Mexican Stir Fry:
- Coat the beef in half of the rice bran oil and toss it with the Mexican seasoning and crushed garlic.
- Heat the wok over high heat and add the remaining oil. Stir-fry the beef in batches for 2 to 3 minutes or until browned. Add extra oil if needed. Once done, remove the beef from the wok and set it aside.
- Reduce the heat of the wok to medium-high. Add a little more oil if needed and stir-fry the onion and capsicum for 2 to 3 minutes or until the onion has softened.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of cold water with corn flour, mixing to form a smooth paste.
- Return the beef to the wok.
- Add the corn flour mixture and ½ cup of water to the meat in the wok. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes or until the sauce has bubbled and slightly thickened. Add more water if too dry.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in half of the coriander.
Tortillas:
- Warm the tortillas in the oven for 3-5 minutes. (Or as per packet instructions.)
- Serve the stir-fried beef with warmed tortillas, shredded lettuce, and a dollop of light sour cream. Top it off with the remaining coriander and squeeze of lime juice.
