Preparation
Cook the beef & squash
In a large pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the garlic and squash. Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant. Add the beef*; season with the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through and tender.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, thinly slice the radishes. Halve the string peas crosswise on an angle. In a medium bowl, make the salad by combining the radishes, string peas, vinegar, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Warm the tortillas
Wrap the tortillas in a slightly dampened paper towel. On a plate, microwave, in 10 sec. increments, until warm.
Plate your dish
Divide the tortillas between your plates. Spread with the pineapple chili sauce. Top with the beef, squash and salad. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
