Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Place roast beef slices on each soft tortilla, fold in half, and sprinkle with cheese. Place the tacos in the largest compartment of the lunch box. Fill the other compartments with guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and other toppings of your choice. Close the box and pack for school.
  2. Quick Salsa:


    Grate the tomatoes into a bowl, cutting right down to the skins. Discard the skins. Grate the onion and add to the tomatoes. Add olive oil. Season with salt to taste. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves or stir them in.

  3. Quick Guacamole:


    Using a spoon, scoop the avocado flesh out of the skin into a medium bowl. Squeeze the lime juice over the avocado and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt to taste. Mix with a fork, mashing until you have a chunky guacamole. Add tomatoes or fruit, if desired.
