Instructions

In a small dish, mix together the cayenne pepper, maple syrup or honey, seasoning and oil.
Thread the beef cubes onto 4 small metal skewers (or wooden ones that have been soaked in water for 20 minutes). Brush the kebabs with the cayenne mixture on both sides.
Cook the kebabs under a preheated moderate grill or on a prepared barbecue for 12-16 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer to a warm plate to rest.
To prepare the avocado and beetroot salsa, mix all the salsa ingredients together (except the sour cream or low-fat crème fraîche) in a bowl.
Spoon the salsa into the taco shells and serve with the kebabs.
