Pour in the chopped tomatoes, kidney beans, bell pepper, tomato paste, and beef stock. Stir well and let simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes (or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor) until thickened.

While the Chilli Cooks, Make the Guacamole 🥑: Mash the avocado in a bowl. Add finely chopped cherry tomatoes, onion, lime juice, coriander, olive oil, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Assemble the Tacos 🌮: Fill each shell with a layer of beef chili, then top with grated cheddar cheese, a spoonful of guacamole, and a drizzle of sour cream.
