Mexican Feast...

...we had another of our 'Dinner In' with friends last night...this time the theme was Mexican Feast Night...

Chicken Tinga Taco Filling...

This is another dish from my favourite cookery book at the moment Thomasina Miers' Mexican Food Made Simple...where it is called Spicy Bird Taco Filling

Simple Roast Tomato Salsa...

...I don't like tomatoes when they are raw in salads or sandwiches, but this salsa gets you to dry roast them in a pan before using...

Picadillo

It was an impressive and somewhat strange set of ingredients that I found in front of me yesterday when I got all set up and ready to make the Picadillo from Thomasina Miers' Mexican Food Made Simple...

Mexican Madness #4...Tacos...

Number 4 and the final one...this is a two for one deal...a Mixed Mushroom one and a Courgette and corn one....Both are full of fresh flavours and super simple to make!

Mexican Madness #3...Green Rice

...This is another side dish that we'd tried at Wahaca itself...there they serve it in small earthenware pots that look really great next to the Refried Beans and Guacamole...and it's another dish that I've been meaning to make for ages!!! So I'm really pleased to say I have now done just that!!! It takes a wee bit of preparation at the start, but nothing too taxing...

Mexican Madness #2...A Simple Guacamole...

As you know from the earlier post, this Friday's menu theme was Mexican Madness...

...So to start what else could I make but Guacamole and tortilla chips...

Mexican Madness #1...Frijoles Refritos...

 So the theme for this weekends culinary delights was Mexican...

...and the five recipes I made were taken from Tomasina Miers' book 'Mexican Food Made Simple'...
