Leftover Pork Wraps
We knew we were going to have leftover pork so planned ahead to make pork wraps. Unfortunately, we had a small domestic emergency while cooking and had to down tools for a while to deal with it. This left us both a bit flustered and meant we forgot to add the lettuce and [...]
Read More..>>Mexican Fish Fajitas with Broad Bean Salsa
I can’t remember how we came up with the idea, but we decided to try making fish fajitas and see how they turned out. We have made chicken or beef fajitas many times but never tried anything like that with fish. Kerri was back late from work, so that meant I had some [...]
Read More..>>Mexican Barbecued Ribs
I bought these pork ribs earlier in the week with a vague idea of what I was going to do with them but, having seen the weather report, Stephen suggested keeping them until tonight and barbecuing them. We don’t eat ribs often so I wasn’t really sure what to do with them, a quick [...]
Read More..>>Mexican Burgers
We’ve been eating sensibly and upping our gym attendance this week so felt like we deserved a treat on Friday night. We haven’t had burgers for a while and I wanted to play with the recipe, creating something spicy and different to the relatively plain beef burgers we usually eat.
I started off with a [...]
Tortilla Casserole, aka Mexican Lasagne
When paging through Rick Bayless’s Mexican Kitchen, we found something which we initially thought was a bit odd but strangely interesting – a Mexican version of lasagne, layered up with tortillas instead of lasagne sheets. We became determined to try it and thought that it would be a good way to use up the [...]
Read More..>>Drunken Bean Wraps
We’ve cooked this before using tequila but when I saw Jen’s recipe using dark beer, I was interested to see what the difference was.
Knowing I would be home late from work tonight, Stephen and I cooked the beans yesterday with the intention of making the wraps when we got home and turning the [...]
Mexican Bean Burgers
In keeping with the Mexican theme, we started with some chilli popcorn. Pop your corn and, in a seperate pan, melt some butter with some chilli powder and salt. Add that to the corn and eat. And eat and eat if you made as much as I accidentally did.
Next we moved on [...]
Chillied Tortilla Soup and Chilli-Seasoned Pot Roasted Pork
So, to go with the tortillas we made earlier, we decided on a soup to start and something to fill them later. We had originally considered three courses all using tortillas but that seemed a little much when it actually came down to it.
We actually started with some pork scratchings and guacamole, inspired by [...]
Homemade Tortillas
It’s been a while since we had a weekend at home without any plans. Since before Christmas in fact. My favourite way to spend a Saturday is to eat breakfast in bed while watching Saturday Kitchen, followed by an afternoon in the kitchen which is exactly what we did today.
Since we [...]

Another dinner cooked by Stephen. I’m not sure exactly what he did but we cooked the beans last night and then today he added them to some onion, chilli and garlic and re-fried them. Served with guacamole and some smoked cheese inside corn tortillas.
