Beef Caldo with Spinach

Recipe by: Holly B.

Be the first to review it!

This is a nutritious and delicious Mexican soup, called a 'caldo'. It is too dense to be a soup, and is almost a stew, except the liquid hasn't been thickened. The flavours are deep and rich.

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.

A delicious Latin American sauce of fresh coriander and tomatillos (green husk tomatoes) with shredded chicken. Serve over steamed white rice or with tortilla crisps.

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

Be the first to review it!

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.

Mexican layered chicken and rice

Recipe by: rosaliebee

Reviews(1)

I took a look around the site for a recipe like this, and not having found one, I decided to have a go creating one. My family really enjoy it. You can adjust the heat to your own preference. You could also omit the chicken for a nutritious vegetarian option. I think it's pretty versatile. It would be delicious served with tortilla chips, guacamole and a fresh green salad. Hope you like it!

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.

Mixed bean chilli soup

Recipe by: Maggie Pannell

Be the first to review it!

This heart-warming soup is perfect for a chilly evening. It's packed full of vegetables and mixed pulses, making it an excellent source of fibre. Enjoy it with some crusty French bread to mop up the delicious liquid.

Pork and spinach enchiladas

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Much of the delight of Mexican food is in the abundance of salad-type toppings that contrast so well with the hot ingredients. Although these enchiladas are made with less fat than usual, their character is preserved, with chilli powder, cumin and paprika in the sauce and maize flour or corn tortillas used as thickening.

Speedy two-bean chilli

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Reviews(1)

Here's a hearty and satisfying chilli – without the carne (meat) – that can be made in minutes. This version combines two varieties of beans with sweetcorn in a rich tomato sauce flavoured with herbs, fresh chilli and chilli sauce. Serve with boiled rice or plenty of warm crusty bread.
