- Choose pork mince with a higher fat content for a juicier bake.
- Select avocados that are ripe but still firm for the guacamole.
- Substitute pork mince with beef mince. This substitution will provide a more robust flavor to the dish, and is a great way to switch up the flavor profile for a more classic Mexican dish.
- Substitute the taco seasoning with a combination of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and oregano. This substitution will bring out the flavors of the beef mince and provide a more complex flavor profile than the taco seasoning sachet alone.
