Tomato & black bean taco salad

Enjoy this refreshing taco salad on a warm evening when you’re craving something quick, fresh and crunchy, or as a side for a Mexican-style feast

Mexican-style stuffed peppers

Stuff peppers with rice and black beans, then top with chilli cheese and fresh guacamole for an easy vegetarian family meal. If the kids don’t like spice, use a mild cheese instead

Spicy beef taco bowl

Get all five of your five-a-day in this Mexican-inspired spicy beef taco bowl. Full of textures and flavours, it can be partly prepped ahead

Mexican hot chocolate

Be sure to add a frothy finish to this Mexican hot chocolate, which is warming and spiced with cinnamon, vanilla and chilli

Oven-roasted sweet potato & courgette tortilla

Enjoy a baked rather than fried tortilla, making it healthier and easier to throw together. If you don’t have manchego, you can use cheddar or crumbled feta

Spicy rice burritos

Homemade wholemeal wraps stuffed with spicy tomato rice and avocado make the perfect finger food

Cabbage roll enchiladas

Pack in the flavour with these lighter spicy beef enchiladas. Delicious and gluten-free, they’re made with cabbage leaves instead of the usual tortillas

Cornbread tamale pie

Try this Mexican-inspired chilli with cornbread topping. It takes a little effort, but it can be frozen for days when you need a comforting supper quick
