7 Mouthwatering Mexican Meals

Sometimes, when our meals get a little boring, I like to squeeze in some of my favourite mexican recipes just to spice things up.

I adore Mexican food. What’s not to love? It’s probably one of the most flavourful and appetising out of all the foods in the world. It’s also really popular that it’s a staple in some households here in Australia.

Anyway, these are seven of my most favourite Mexican recipes. I love it for the taste and for how easy it is to make. The fact that I can find all the ingredients I need at Woolworths is a huge plus!

1. Pork Cantinas Tacos

Pork Cantinas are so easy to make. If you like it extra spicy, add extra jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper. If you prefer it to be more family friendly leave out the jalapeños.

Ingredients:

2kg Woolworths Boneless Pork Shoulder Roast

1 tbsp Woolworths Oregano Leaves

2 tsps Woolworths  Cumin Ground

1 tbsp Macro Organic Extra Virgin Spanish Olive Oil

2 Oranges Juiced

3. Mexican Double Baked Loaded Potatoes

There are so many reasons why I love this recipe. It’s crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside and flavours are just sooo overwhelming. Best of all, this recipe is super versatile that you can use almost any leftover meat you have and you the cheese level can go from slightly-cheesy to swimming-in-cheese-atm.

You can make this varied by adding almost anything else to the filling on these, so go wild!

4 Potato (baking variety)

1 large Onion (diced)

1 and 1/2 tsp Garlic (minced

1/2 cup Sour Cream

1 cup  Cheese (Grated)

2 tbsp Olive Oil

6 Bacon Rashes (diced)

1 tsp salt and black pepper (to taste)
