Cara's Corn Chip Chilli Lasagna

Recipe by: caraanne

Reviews(1)

An excellent hearty and warming family meal. Can be mildly mouthwatering or hot as you dare. It can also be varied ever so slightly by trying different flavoured corn chips/tortilla chips. Try zingy lime or fragrant chilli varieties to suit your own tastes. I have seen chilli lasagna recipes before but always using pasta sheets which doesn't feel very Mexican to me. Serve with a crisp cooling salad dressed with mint, cucumber, yoghurt or soured cream.

Light but Spicy Guacamole

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Chunks of onion, tomato and jalapeño chillies add a flavour punch to this popular dip. Low-fat yoghurt and fromage frais lighten the mix and stretch two avocados to feed a horde of hungry dunkers.

Taco spice mix

Recipe by: PNCHANDRA

A mixture of spices and a little cornflour for thickening, that closely resembles the packaged taco spice sachets you might find in the supermarket. There is no salt in this mixture.

Tomato Rice

Recipe by: alicarrington

I sometimes add veg and some precooked chicken or sausage for a main meal, but it can be a side dish also. It goes nicely with BBQ/Grilled food, espcially fish, and with a little sour cream on top.
