Step 1
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add mince, chilli powder, paprika, onion powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring regularly, for 4 minutes. Then add the chopped capsicum and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes or until the meat is fully cooked and the capsicum has softened to your liking.

For the Pico de Gallo, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, coriander and lime juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
For the guacamole, mash together ripe avocado, pickled jalapenos, fresh coriander, and lime juice in a small bowl using a fork until well combined. Season with salt to taste.
Step 4
To assemble, divide the shredded lettuce evenly among four bowls. Top with the cooked mince, Pico de Gallo, guacamole, corn chips, shredded cheese and a dollop of yoghurt or sour cream. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.
