Salsa Pico De Gallo

Method
- Chop all of the salsa ingredients and place them in a bowl. Season to taste and transfer to a separate meal prep container to keep fresh until serving.
- Place the potatoes into a bowl, add all the seasonings, and toss to coat. Spread evenly with space between pieces on a lined baking tray or in an air fryer basket — avoid overcrowding, as this stops them from crisping. Spray with avocado oil and cook for 22 minutes at 190°C (375°F). If using an oven, increase the time to 30 minutes or until cooked through.
- Add avocado spray oil to a large, high-rimmed pan over high heat and add the beef. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 8 minutes, or until browned and any liquid has evaporated. Add the seasonings and chipotle in adobo and cook, mixing well, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Serve the chipotle beef and potatoes in 5 x 750ml meal prep containers. Garnish with spring onion and drizzle over the sriracha sauce or sauce of choice. When reheating, top with fresh salsa just before serving.
