Our cumin-spiked tomato sauce, topped with avocado and sour cream, is unconventional and addictive. It's great over pasta, too.
Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
700-ml jar pasta sauce, preferably spicy
1 cup salsa
1 tbsp dried oregano leaves
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce, optional
4 slices crusty bread
1 cup grated cheddar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 avocado
Instructions
Lightly coat a large saucepan with oil and set over medium. Crumble beef into pan. Sprinkle with onion and garlic. Using a fork, break up and stir meat until it's no longer pink, about 5 min. Drain off excess liquid.
Add sauce, salsa, oregano, cumin and Tabasco. Stirring often, bring to a boil. Then reduce heat. Cover and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavours develop, about 10 min. Spoon over crusty bread. Top with cheese, sour cream and avocado.
