Cheesy Mexican Beef and Rice with Beans, Skillet Dinner This is one of those dishes that is soul-soothing-delicious. I made this dish on a cold night and it warmed me and the house. I love how the corn stays crunchy and by adding black beans you're significantly adding fibre and protein. The green onions at the end give more crunch and ...

Tex-Mex Mayonnaise
Tex-Mex Mayonnaise This is the sauce for a recipe that is coming soon but really, this sauce could be THE quintessential sauce for any and every fajita, taco, soft taco and burrito; just saying :) ...
Mexican Fried Rice
Mexican Fried Rice I can't stand wasting food! I made burritos and I happened to make too much rice (which of course had a can of black beans added to it). I love burritos. So off topic. This rice dish is spicy and crunchy and delicious. The heat in the salsa tends to increase exponentially; forewarned is ...
Spicy Bean Burritos
Spicy Bean Burritos In case you haven't noticed, I'm so hooked on Mexican and Tex-Mex; it's so easy and insanely delicious. So I wanted to see how satisfying a meatless (sorry Mike) burrito could be, and you know what!?? They were awesome! Even Mike liked them, was full and happy and didn't request any BBQ meat on the side! Yay 😊 Makes 8 ...
Shredded Slow Cooker Beef Fajitas
Shredded Slow Cooker Beef Fajitas This is a great make-a-head and it couldn't be simpler really. The beef becomes infused with the flavour of the spices and literally melts in your mouth. I consider this a more elegant take on the amazing original. Makes 8 Fajitas ½ tbsp (salted) butter ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil 454 g Stewing ...
Mexican Red-Beans with Rice
Mexican Red-Beans with Rice I made this rice dish last time we had Beef Chimichangas for dinner. I used white rice. There, I said it. I used white rice. I like white rice. White rice is delicious but there is no way to dress it up to make it healthy. So to stretch the naughty that is the white rice, I've added lots of onion, red pepper and ...
Beef and Bean Soft Tacos
Beef and Bean Soft Tacos My love affair for Mexican continues :) I love adding legumes to meat dishes because it cuts the amount of meat (portion, portion, portion) and increases the fibre and vitamins from the beans. Plus, yum! Serves 4 1 tbsp Cornstarch 1 tsp chili powder ½ tsp smoked paprika ½ tsp salt, plus more ¼ tsp ...
Baked Beef Chimichangas
Baked Beef Chimichangas It never ceases to amaze me how much I love Mexican and Tex-Mex food. Let me break it down for you; it's easy, fast, healthy, and DELICIOUS. I can't get enough of it! Here I've made chimichangas which are essentially deep fried burritos but cut the fat and grease by baking them. Make these your own by switching up the ...
Beef and Bean Burritos
Beef and Bean Burritos It’s not too often that I look at photo of the food I’ve made and salivate; I tend to have my fill and move on. This is NOT one of those times. I look at these pictures and my mouth is actually watering. I cannot, repeat cannot wait to make this again! The flavours are incredible and these burritos are just so ...
