This simple black bean side dish works well with Mexican or Latin American meals. Black turtle beans have loads of fibre and are packed with nutrients.

Chicken Fajitas

Recipe by: Teresa C. Rouzer

Reviews(7)

Chicken thighs are used in this recipe, but skinless breasts could be used instead. Be careful not to overcook, as the result could be rather dry chicken. Serve with warm flour tortillas, spicy salsa and soured cream.

Chicken fajitas with tomato salsa

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

Although in northern Mexico ‘fajitas’ refers to a specific cut of beef, elsewhere in the world the term has come to describe a combination of sizzling pan-grilled chicken strips with peppers and onions, wrapped in a flour tortilla. The dish has very little fat, but lots and lots of fresh flavours.

Mexican black-eyed bean soup

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

The creamy texture of black-eyed beans works particularly well in warming, spicy soups. This one is filling enough to make a hearty main course. A scattering of grated cheese melting into the soup is the finishing touch.

Lean pork marinated in a zesty Mexican spice and citrus mixture is griddled until succulent, then sliced thinly and served in soft flour tortillas. The finishing touch is a fresh avocado salsa.

This is the recipe for my grandma's rice. Being Mexican, this is about as authentic as you can get. Makes a great side dish to grilled meat or vegetables.

Mexican tostadas

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

Tostadas comes from the Spanish word for toasted – in Mexico it refers to flat, crisply toasted corn tortillas, topped with all sorts of savoury things. Chicken with beans and salad is a favourite. A base layer of a thick mixture – often refried beans, but here a spicy pepper and tomato mixture – keeps everything together.

Tiger prawns with pepper salsa

A salsa is a Mexican-style vegetable or fruit sauce with a fresh zingy flavour. A tomato, pepper and chilli salsa makes a wonderful accompaniment for grilled prawn kebabs, here served with sweet melon and grainy bread.
