Chilli con carne. Deeelisssh.
I was very impressed by the recipes its going to be difficult choosing which ones to try first. This pack exceeded my expectations and I can confirm its absolutely worth the money!!!. Thank you for making my day
That's brilliant! We are hoping to see your creations on the Wall of Fame!
Our first taco legend night was a huge success
That's brilliant! We are hoping to see your creations on the Wall of Fame!
Got the Taco Legend book yesterday, it’s easy to follow and has infinite combinations for meals. Tried few recipes (Arroz Verde, Chicken Fajitas & Salsa Mexicano in the picture) and they are absolutely delish. Shame it’s only paperback.
That's great to see that you've got stuck in! We changed them to paperbacks as the pages in the hardbacks wouldn't easily stay open - I hope you find this one easier to use!
Spices are very well blended, can't expect anything less from the Spicery as that's what they do best in my opinion. This is a brief review of the new "How To Be A Taco Legend" Cookbook set. The recipes are nice, very authentic, very educated and well written. The layout of the book is lacklustre. For a cookbook set this way, surely the first chapter would be all the different tortillas & how to turn these into nachos first of all, as it is the basis for so many dishes. The recipes are also never linked to the recommended tortilla recipe of which is assumed to of been made for a lot of the recipes. For that 1 star is deducted. The second missing star is because of the quality of cookbook, I've bought every single one of The spicery cookbooks, and they generally are of a brilliant quality all the way down to the materials used in the creation of the book, this one in particular felt different. the embossing on the front is so minor it felt like save the money on that and spend it on a thicker cover to protect the book, as unfortunately in such a small amount of time the whole book has warped. Other than those points, the book and spices are great, I do wish they pumped the price up £5 more to include the lovely tin from the curry one, as it would really make this set. The recipes are brilliant and you have a great team writing them. I would give this 3.5 / 5 but there wasn't an option. Good luck for the next recipes!
Thanks so much for taking the time to review our new Taco Legend book, Doug! So, the idea is that you can use any type of tortilla that you like the best with any fillings and condiments etc - there are no hard and fast rules as to what goes with what - play around with it and see what you like the best! As for the book itself, we chose to change it to a paperback as the hardbacks were proving difficult to keep open when using them - these new books will stay open making cooking whilst read
Delicious smoky flavour in the beef and really fresh salsa. Loving the Taco legend cookbook so far
Hooray, it's great to see you're loving the Taco Legend recipes! Everything looks delicious!
I cooked albondigas with arroz verde, esquires and a salad. I only gave me a score of 4 as I didn’t have enough coriander, but the meal was still very good. The meatballs were light and full of flavour
That looks fab! Nice work!
Turkey Manchamanteles Mole from Taco Legend book was so tasty!!
Nice! Happy spicing!
Enjoying the new taco legend book with a mole poblano and a squash guisado complemented by the essential reds also and some homemade corn tortillas, looking forward to discovering more.
It's great to see everyone is enjoying the recipes, it looks like it's two thumbs up for Taco Legend from the Spicery Little Chefs- terrific!
Essential Carnitas, Suadero, Chilli Con Carne, Salsa Mexicana, Guacamole, Sonoran Beans, Soured Cream, Nachos, Tacos & Wraps First new from the new How To Be A Taco Legend book and wow it lived up to expectations.
WOW! What a spread - great job!
Another hit from The Spicery, received this week and cooked our first Taco feast last night - it was delicious! Really like the mix & match nature of the recipes and they were easy to make, the spice blends are flavoursome and its easy to adjust the heat of the dishes. Looking forward to working my way through the rest of the book but so far it certainly seems to be on par with the excellent Curry Legend kit. Very happy :-)
That's brilliant - we look forward to seeing your creations on the Wall of Fame!
So easy to make and so tasty. Full of colour and flavour. Can’t wait to try more recipes.
Beautiful, Jo!
Easy to make, really really tasty. Can’t wait to make more from this book
Keep 'em coming!
The sides and salsas are incredible. So fresh and tasty and really easy to make.
Yum! Happy spicing!
First foray into the Taco Legend book but very happy, recipes look really easy and tasty as the three tacos in the photo would attest.
Great job!
Received my book last week and have been diving in. Love the recipes in the book and the spice blends are great. There are a lot of recipes that rate three chillies or less which is great if you are cooking for folks who aren't keen on hot spicy food. Now to buy a Taco press and other extras! I haven't given it 5 stars as the physical quality of the kit is not produced to as high a standard as the Curry Legend kits. The books are paper back, the tin has been replaced with a cardboard box and the opening and closing of the spice jars does not seem as good. The price is the same though!
Thanks for your review! We opted for paperbacks this time round as we found that the hardbacks wouldn't stay open so this was making them hard to use. It was also fed back to us that the tins weren't being used for storage so we thought we would make it a bit cheaper and send them in cardboard presentation boxes instead. I'm so pleased to hear you like the look of the recipes though - look forward to seeing some of your creations on the Wall of Fame!
Another incredible kit from The Spicery. I've now made six of the recipes and every one was excellent. I had no idea pickled jalapenos were so easy - and spicy, given that the chillies I used were mild. The spices are really well put together, aromatic and vibrant. There is a real range in the recipes - from simple, quick dishes to the significantly more complex: so like Curry Legend, there is an opportunity to make something that requires relatively little effort or to do a full-on epic meal, from taco fillings to stews. The inclusion of desserts is a nice touch. The style of the salsas and advice on how to make them easily is especially welcome. I made the roasted tomato salsa, which turned out very well indeed, with deep smoky flavours. Similarly to Curry Legend, the recipes invite customisation and are very adaptable: I used cooking chorizo for Chorizo Picante, rather than sausage meat, and simply halved the spices which worked really well. After the success of Curry Legend, I've been searching for a similar product for Mexican food - I'm very pleased that The Spicery has made Taco Legend and it is as good as I had hoped it would be. Well worth the wait! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your wonderful review- it's great to hear that you're enjoying the recipes and we look forward to seeing your creations on our Wall of Fame! Happy spicing!
Went all out with the Family Taco Spread to start with. Everyone loved it
Thanks for your wonderful review- it's great to hear that you're enjoying the recipes and we look forward to seeing your creations on our Wall of Fame! Happy spicing!
We made the chicken tinga, red rice and raisin salsa. Oh boy, it was an absolute treat. Its all over our hands, faces and cat but we don’t care because it tastes so good (cat is fine, just got dripped on). This book is wonderful!
Wow what a treat! Ha, glad the cat is okay- it sounds like this was a truly legendary meal!
My 12 year old daughter cooked us Chicken Adobo with Charro Beans and Salsa Mexicana- the first recipes we have tried from Taco Legend. We give it a 5 star rating - every bit as delicious as Curry Legend Recipes . Hurrah for Taco Tuesday!
Wow what a treat! Ha, glad the cat is okay- it sounds like this was a truly legendary meal!
Dishes from taco legend. Chicken Mole Rosa, Arroz Verde, Sonoran Beans, pickled cabbage, Chipotle Pineapple Salsa and Pico de Gallo. Divine!
Wow everything looks delicious, we wish we could try some!
Not sure if it has loaded it all in the photo but I made tequila beer pork belly carnitas, chicken and chorizo tinga, taco arabes, elote, tortillas, guacamole, salsa, chipotle salsa, charred pineapple salsa, cebollas curtidas, garlic and herb mayocrema and spicy chips. Mostly from the new taco book! It was amazing and the flavours were gorgeous, would definitely recommend!
WOW!!! Happy spicing!
Essential Chicken Adobo with Guacamole. Delish with added cheese and refried beans and yoghurt. First recipe out if the Taco Recipe book!! Can't wait to try others
WOW!!! Happy spicing!
Al Pastor with Avocado Salsa and Cebollas Curtidas. Our first recipe from the new book “How to be a Taco Legend” great tasting taco with bursts of sweetness with the pork and pineapple. Yummy accompaniments and really easy to make. Clean plates all round we will definitely be adding this to our repotoire. Can’t wait to try more recipes from the book.
Great job, Alice! Happy spicing!
This was my first try of the Taco Legend book and spice. Our fabulous banquet consisted of Ceviche, Chile Con Queso, Tortilla chips, Essential Chicken Adobo, Salsa Mexican & Flower tortillas. Delicious next time happy to go hotter with the chilli. Nothing was difficult even prep didn’t take as long as I thought. Ps The Ceviche was my favourite would go down well at a party.
YUM! Looks like a brilliant banquet to us!
Our first taco feast! Chicken tinga, pork pibil and too many salsas to count. All utterly delicious!
Amazing job, Katy! Happy spicing!
Pork Carnitas with Salsa Verde and Onion Salsa - Amazing flavour we used beer to braise they pork belly. Salsa verde teamed really well with the pork. Friday night used to be takeaway night but now it’s definitely a night to try new Spicery recipes.
Woah that's a serious raise your game using beer to braise the pork belly, brilliant! We look forward to seeing your future fantastic Friday creations!
“Chicken Tinga” was the star of the show! Accompanied by “Essential Red Salsa”, “Pickled Red Cabbage”, “Salsa Mexicana” & “Essential Black Beans”. The flavours were all amazing and we will be making it all again!
Fantastic- looks like a show-stopping meal to us!
Chicken Fajitas with Avocado Salsa and Essential Onion Salsa - We included mushrooms with our fajitas which according to my husband is a must!! Yummy Friday night fajitas. Good flavour and moist filling went down well. I like the fact you can mix and match accompaniments to your taste.
Fantastic- looks like a show-stopping meal to us!
Chilli Beef Nachos
Now that's what you call a cheese feast!
Enchiladas with Rajas con Pollo
Excellent Enchiladas- the sauce looks so rich and flavoursome!
Mexican Spread Getting The Thumbs Up from teenage son
It's a thumbs up from us at Spicery HQ too! Everything looks brilliant- hats off to the chef!
Lamb Barbacoa, Essential Carnitas, Rajas Con Pollo, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Charro Beans, Arroz Verde, Cebollas Curtidas, Tomato Salsa Cruda, Salsa Mexicana, Guacamole, very happy family. All courtesy of the Taco Legend book!
WOW looks like a terrific Taco (Legend) spread! Glad everyone enjoyed this!
We made the chicken fajitas with the red salsa. Really tasty, no more supermarket fajita kits for us!
Glad you enjoyed this, everything looks delicious!
I’ve had this kit about 6 weeks now and cooked at least one meal every week and not yet run out of new things to try. Everything has been delicious so far and I love that it has a mix of speedy dishes for mid week meals and ones that need a bit more time I only wish it had come in a tin like the curry legend set (the cardboard box is too flimsy) and that the book was spiral bound so it stayed open when cooking as it’s already looking rather battered where I’m having to bend back pages to try and get it to stay open.
Thanks for your feedback, it's really great to hear that you're enjoying the range of recipes and creating delicious meals! Sorry for any disappointment caused by the tin, we have discontinued the tins for a few reasons. After gathering some customer feedback, it turned out people weren't using the tins for storage, opting instead to display the colourful books and stackable tins on shelves instead, i'll pass your feedback re the book binding onto our product developers!
Chilli Verde, Arroz Rojo and Pickled Red Cabbage. All excellent, never had chilli verde before but will definitely be having it regularly. So tasty and colourful!
YUM everything looks so vibrant and flavoursome- a real treat!
Suadero, with rice, Sonoran beans, picked cabbage and jalapeños, garlic and herb mayocrema, tomato salsa cruda and salad
WOW- this is an absolute joy to look at, we can imagine how delicious it was too!
We are loving these blends and the book. I won't say its made my other 13 Mexican recipe books totally redundant but its definitely at the front of the queue and it makes it so so easy. The fiendishly evil fish tacos have even got me (a non fish lover) hooked. Particularly like the oregano blend as it saves packets of herbs like epazote that you don't use a lot of going stale. All of the blends are terrific for general cooking as well. The only criticism is I would have loved a proper tin - even if the price went up. The paper box is looking battered, marinated and doesn't easily accommodate book and tins without further damage. (And I love my Curry Legends tin).
Thanks so much for taking the time to review our new Taco Legend book Elaine! It's great to hear that you're really enjoying the recipes and blends- and discovering a new love for fish tacos! Thanks for your feedback about the tin, we have discontinued the tins for a few reasons. After gathering some customer feedback, it turned out people weren't using the tins for storage, opting instead to display the colourful books and stackable tins on shelves instead. They also cant be used to store more
Rajas Con Pollo with Yucatan Salsa and Red Onion Salsa yet another great Taco recipe. Definitely going to add this to our list of favourites.
Everything looks brilliant- so fresh and tasty! Thanks for sharing and happy spicing!
Carne Asada served with Arroz Rojo & Essential Chopped Salsa and Wraps. From The Taco Legend Book. We did this as a quick evening meal and it was delicious. Went great with the rice and salsa, the book suggested you use onion or tomatoes in the salsa we used both and was perfect. Simple easy and very tasty. Will cook again.
Quick to make and delicious- it's two thumbs up from us!
Chicken Tinga, arroz verde, tacos arabes, roasted tomato salsa, ceboas curtidas and guacamole. All amazing. Chicken Tinga is so nice and the ceboas curtidas are a revelation for any Mexican meal. Lovely spicy and smokey salsa and cooling guacamole. Perfect
Sounds like an incredible taco feast, so great to see your creations from the Taco Legend Book - keep them coming! Happy Spicing!
Hola¡ de alemania! This was our first time cooking with the Taco Legend Kit. It was really much fun and tasted unbelievable good. We‘re big spicery fans and love your spices and recepies. Greetings Susi and Enya from Germany
Arriba! Thanks for sharing this vibrant vision of deliciousness Susi and Enya- everything looks amazing!
I made this for Halloween and it was sooooo delicous. Everybody liked it and I’m definitely gonna make this again. It was soo much fun to cook and I can‘t imagine cooking without The Spicery Blends and Kits
Arriba! Thanks for sharing this vibrant vision of deliciousness Susi and Enya- everything looks amazing!
Texan Chilli - Great Smokey flavoured chilli well worth the wait. The beef was tender and the sauce had a great depth of flavour with a good level of heat.
YUM- looks like a terrifically tasty 'bowl o' red' glad you enjoyed it!
October was Legend month at The Spicery so we’ve got two lucky winners this time- denis Christopher Lunn is our Curry Legend Winner and Gordon Allan is our Taco Legend winner, congratulations!
YUM- looks like a terrifically tasty 'bowl o' red' glad you enjoyed it!
First ever try at Lamb Barbacoa & it was astonishingly tasty! Accompanied by roasted sweet potatoes, flavoured and smashed together with guacamole & the onions and juices, oh yes!
This was SO GOOD. Actually mashed it up with the sweet potato recipe as well, plus the Guac made it sublime! :)
We made enchiladas using the garlic and oregano mushroom filling. Sides of black beans, radish, avocado and creme fraiche. Photo worthy dish (which makes a change for me!), tasty but not a “wow, let’s have that again” dish. Will try another combination and see how that goes.
YUM everything looks terrific, do let us know how you get on with another combination!
This spice mix for chilli con carne is amazing. It was a gift and has inspired me to try the other ranges.
Fantastic! Happy spicing!
This is one of the blandest mexican meals we have ever had. We followed all the ingrediants and have had the curry legend, world legend for over a year with great results. Unfortunatly this does not hit the mark, well below par in terms flavour and spice
We're so sorry to hear that this dish didn't hit the mark for you - could we ask what you ate it with? Our Taco fillings are designed to be the base of your meal, so they have fairly simple flavours themselves, in order that they can be paired with a variety of accompaniments to create a full, flavoursome dish. We would suggest pairing the Carnitas with Essential chopped salsa, Salsa picante, Sonoran beans and Mexican salad veg. We really hope your next Taco Legend dish hits the spot!
Really easy and delicious Taco recipe that was loved by the whole family, can heartily recommed.
It's great to hear that this one went down a treat with everyone - happy spicing!
Mexican tapas! Loads of exciting, fresh dishes all made with the beautiful Taco legend book and spices. Taco Tuesdays are a tradition now thanks to you guys! Viva Mexico!
This looks like a real Mexican feast! We're so happy to hear that Taco Tuesdays have become a regular event. Happy spicing!
Absolutely love this cookbook - have made most of the recipes & every one has been great. What a difference making your own tortillas makes! It really makes for a special meal & would also make a fabulous gift. I love that the spices are easy to refill & come in eco friendly packaging. Highly recommend!
It's really lovely to hear how much you're enjoying this kit, a true Taco Legend!
Absolutely love the suadero beef! We added mushrooms and pepper whilst cooking to add some veg. We then had the chilli sweetcorn and garlic oregano mushrooms as sides which were also delicious.
Yum - this all looks great, Jillian! A real feast. We're so happy you enjoyed it!
Baja Fish
Yum - look at that crispy batter! Just delicious. We hope you enjoyed it!
Salsa Verde
A lovely, fresh, vibrant salsa!
I have bought for a gift. I have had a quick look through the recipes they look very simple and easy to make good for doing theme nights. The book is nice and colourful. I will be buying more kits for gifting.
Definitely a spec-taco-ular gift idea! Happy spicing!
Great book, the Masa Fried Chicken is a family favourite and the sweetcorn and feta one gets a serious rinse too. I love the more leftfield (for a Brit!) Mole recipes too
This is great to hear, Andrew - we're so pleased that you and your family are loving becoming Taco Legends!
We made the chicken tinga, Chipotle sausage, pineapple salsa and garlic and herb dip... All amazing, such authentic Mexican taste! Need to refill already as we have cooked so much!
A fabulous Mexican feast! We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed all of these dishes - ordering refills means you're officially on your way to becoming a Taco Legend!
Really simple and tasty, and came out just like it looked in the recipe book!
We thought we were seeing double for a minute... spot on, Charlotte! Great job!
Didn't quite come out as I expected but anything is good with conchinita pibil on top
Looks great to us! Happy spicing!
This kit is fantastic. I find myself reaching for these spice blends constantly.
Great to hear how much you're loving being a Taco Legend, Heather!
Spectacular! Having hosted many a night with our curry legends kit, we were keen to try the taco setup. We were not disappointed! The kit provides for many meals beyond taco fillings, and we've used it on several nights with family (and are writing this review at the same time as ordering refills). Highly recommended, particularly the Sweetcorn Chilli (which we recently tried with vegan feta cheese and mayo - worked a treat).
Sounds like you're quickly on your way to becoming a Taco Legend! We are so happy to hear that this kit is going down a treat - and great job with the vegan sweetcorn chilli! Happy spicing!
This I the second receipt I have tried from the book. Very impressed with both so far.
Looks delicious, James - we're really happy to hear how much you're enjoying the Taco Legend kit so far, and look forward to seeing what you make next!
Levi enjoyed his Granny's Albondigas very much. He finished the Arroz Verde before the photo' could be taken. I have to admit I was stunned by both dishes too.
Oh so cute! A tiny Taco Legend in the making (and great to hear that you loved it too of course)!
Used mini wraps but really yummy
Yummm! Looks delicious, Hana - carnitas is a great thing to have in your Taco repertoire!
Salsa Mexicana with a twist in that an avocado needed eating so that went in as well as the cucumber. This was actually the first recipe I had done from the Taco Legend Book. It alone made the purchase worthwhile
Looks delicious, and adding the avocado sounds like a great idea! We're really pleased to hear how much you enjoyed your Taco Legend debut!
My first authentic Chilli Con Carne. I held back on the Chilli's as I knew it would be hot and I was right to do as the meal was loved by all including the nervous of spice department. A lovely meal and definitely to be repeated.
A good chilli recipe is a great thing to have in your repertoire - no doubt you'll make this time and time again! We're really happy to hear that it went down a treat with everyone!
Taco Legend Carne Asada for dinner
That looks delicious, Helen - we hope you enjoyed it! Happy spicing!
Chicken Tinga with a couple of peppers in as well. I will serve it with Guacomole and Sweet Potatoes. 2 more meals from the recipe - how lucky are we???
Yum - it looks amazing! Nice work!
P152 Essential Guacamoleto go with the Chicken Tinga and some sweet potatoes. It was so much nicer than anything bought or even found in most restaurants where they ruin it with vast quantities of Corriander leaf. This was just perfect.
It certainly looks deliciously creamy! Happy spicing!
Taco Legend fest for Hogmanay. Luckily Santa brought me a taco press so could make fresh tacos (which is even better as I am coeliac and can’t have lots of shop bought ones!)
What a feast! This all looks amazing, Betty. And a big thumbs-up to Santa, too - making your own fresh tacos is really simple, we're sure you'll have lots of fun using that!
The Essential Carnitas are so good the left overs even taste great straight from the fridge!! As Bonnie said: “meaty meaty”
Haha - great feedback, Bonnie! We agree, Essential Carnitas is just delicious!
Tinga tinga chicken with homemade corn tortillas. Absolutely phenomenal. Cant wait to make them again!
This looks amazing, Phil - great job with the homemade corn tortillas!
I’ve really enjoyed trying out lots of the recipes in this book, so much so I also bought it for a friend. I think the chicken adobo in particular is delicious :). I find the chicken fajitas work better with a few more teaspoons of the spice blends to make them a bit more flavourful but otherwise everything has been perfect. The chilli brownies were a tasty surprise too! I’ll have to buy replacement blends soon!
This all looks amazing, Laura - great job! We're so happy to hear how much you've been enjoying working your way through the Taco Legend book and uncovering some surprises along the way. And there's no such thing as too much flavour, so by all means, add as much spice as you like to get it how you like it!
P138, Albondigas with new Zealand lamb meatballs. Used less spice so it wasn't as red as the picture and then added some leeks as there was too much sauce. Split the result in 2. Tonight and some for the freezer. looking forward to that already
This sounds like a really interesting combo - we hope you enjoyed it!
I know this doesn't qualify for your legends wall of fame but I am a very happy customer, loving your stuff ✊
✊
First time spicerers! Easy to follow and faster than estimated time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Main felt more spicy than
That Ensalda de Frutas looks perfect in your lovely glass bowls!
Great addition to our Curry kit!!!! :-)
We're so happy to hear that you've expanded your collection of cookbook kits, Mark! Next up... Mezze Legend?!
This is our third book from The Spicery and we love it as much as the curry books. Our family has a mix of meat eaters and vegetarians/spice fans and ones who prefer less heat. The Taco Legend book caters for us all. Absolutely delicious!
Thanks for your lovely review, Clare. We're so pleased to hear how much you're loving the Taco Legend kit, and the ability to mix and match the dishes to suit everyone's tastes!
After days of Mezze it was Taco time. Essential Chicken Adobo (p52) + essential Guacamole (p152) + Sour Cream + Cream Cheese + Salad + Xtra Chillies in the 2 dishes. And still there is the second helping tomorrow. Heaven!!!
Yum - looks like the perfect Taco Legend feast!
P 154 Essential Red Salsa is very hot but lovely and P159 Cebollas Curtidas is cool and both are amazing. They are for a Mexican meal later and prepared early to get a feel of how spicy it all will be. Lots of Sour Cream will be needed.
The vibrant pink colour of those onions is just gorgeous! We really hope you enjoyed your Taco Legend feast, and had enough sour cream to balance the fire of that red salsa!
P56 Essential Carne Molida, cooked enough for 6 by adding peppers and mushrooms but 3 gannets finished it all off with as many extras as the table would hold. A truly fulfilling Dinner Party Dish.
We're so pleased to hear how much everyone enjoyed this classic taco filling! Great job adding some extras to bulk it out!
For my 200th entry on the Wall of fame, I had to do a special. Burrito Blend free sample and recipes from Taco Legend (pp152 & 154) gave us Tortillas to fill with loads of tasty things. Such a joy to make and even more to eat. It was a Spicery banquet. Thank you so much.
Wow - a brilliant feast to celebrate a brilliant feat! Great job!
This is an absolute cracker, tasted as good as it looks.....
And it looks VERY good! That bubbly, melted cheese is just perfect... we're so glad to hear how much you loved it!
First try of the taco legends kit! Great Father’s Day gift, even the kids loved it! Chicken Tinga for me and chilli sweetcorn for the kids. Result!
Plenty of vibrant colours going on here - exactly what a Mexican feast should look like! We're so pleased to hear how much you loved your first delve into this kit, Nick, and by the look of things you'll be a Taco Legend in no time!
I think the Legend books are brilliant, the chilli corn carne is a big favourite
It's great to hear how much you're loving the Legend kits, Steffan, and this Taco Legend recipe in particular!
Al fresco tacos with suadero filling, raisin salsa, guacamole and sonaran beans. Great combination and combination of textures and flavours.
Yum - sounds like a delicious combination to us! Great job - and how lovely to be able to enjoy it al fresco!
WOW! A flavour explosion! Smokey chipotle mayo crema with sweet and sharp picked red cabbage and crispy battered fish... This might be my new favourite recipe.
We're loving the contrast of that vibrant red cabbage with the coriander - an explosion of flavours and colours! We're so happy to hear that you've found a new favourite from the Taco Legend book!
Great with the recommended toppings but not as special as some of the other taco fillings in How to Be a Taco Legend.
Sorry to hear that this isn't your favourite Taco Legend filling, but we're pleased that it worked a treat with all of the suggested toppings!
Highly recommend this box....
That looks like a delicious taco spread, Mark - great job!
Trying something different with these spices tonight potatoe wedges for the boys scrabble night
We love to see you using the Legend spices elsewhere in your cooking - Taco Legend potato wedges are a great example! Nice one!
Bobby was super excited to cook from the Taco Legend book - he even insisted on making a salsa as "Mummy needs chillies in her meal." Absolutely delicious. Next challenge, making his own tortillas. Very impressed with his chopping skills. Another taste sensation. Bobby says "Thanks The Spicery!"
Great job, Bobby - we're very impressed! We look forward to seeing the homemade tortillas next!
Bonnie’s very own little self serve Taco bar went down well. Although the star of the show was the Essential Carnitas in my eyes, she was of course drawn to the cheddar and tomato …… typical!
Ah, little Bonnie has grown up so much since being crowned our Wall of Fame winner back in February! We're loving the self-serve Taco bar!
With my new food chopper it only takes 5 minutes to bash out the ingredients for this great little dish! So fresh!
A little bit of freshness and crunch is essential in a taco - great job!
Being able to make my own corn tacos has been a life saver since needing to be gluten free! Long live the taco press.
Great job, Betty - it must feel really satisfying eating your tacos knowing that you've made them completely from scratch!
Burrito Blend Mushrooms together with Essential Guacamole and Essential salsa from the Taco Legend book – all vanished in minutes as always happens with Spicery Recipes.
Yum! Loving the contrast of the fresh red salsa against the creamy green guac!
Taco Legend Prawn (Actually Avocado) Cocktail. The newest recipe sounded great but with no Prawns in the house, used an avocado (as suggested) and added a tomato. Doused the lettuce in Lime Juice. Then came the eating bit – now that was easy. Thanks for the recipe.
Great to see you making the latest club recipe, we're really pleased to hear how much you enjoyed it!
It turned out no one likes Turkey in our family so we settled for a Taco feast for 8 people. Feliz Navidad!
Wow! This looks like a spec-TACO-ular Christmas spread, happy spicing!
Cochinita Pibil with Acelgas Guisadas, Cebollas Curtidas and Salsa Mexicana A tasty #tacofeast The pork was so tender cooked in the pressure cooker before finishing in a frying pan
A perfect taco feast is all about lots of different dishes with contrasting colours, flavours and textures - it looks like you've definitely nailed that here! Great job, Laura!
I'm a long time user of your kits, and I'm pleased to show you my daughter Emily is also a fan. This being the chicken fajita recipe with refried beans. Really easy to prep, and very tasty. We don't add salt (for Emily's benefit) and it still tastes so good.
What a cutie - it looks like she's definitely enjoying that! We're so pleased to hear that the Taco Legend recipes are going down a treat with the whole family!
As ever, wonderful. Sweet, spicy and fruity. Love cooking with Florence the Chief Chef.
Lovely picture, guys! This looks like a fabulous feast and we're pleased to hear that the pineapple salsa went down a treat!
So succulent and tasty, tasty, tasty!
Yum, our mouths are watering! Great job!
This Salsa brings a burst of freshness and flavour to your Taco. Simple and delicious.
Great to hear how much you loved this fresh little addition to your taco feast, Robin!
Fab dish to complement our ‘Mexican Feast’
What a colourful, vibrant selection of dishes - exactly the way that a Mexican feast should be! We're really pleased that you enjoyed the pickled red cabbage, and it certainly adds another beautiful colour to this spread!
Loved the colour from the beetroot and texture from the pine nuts. Will definitely try with the beans and rice next time as well as the salsa
It certainly is a fabulous colour! We're really pleased to hear how much you enjoyed this traditional dish from Taxco (it also makes a great burrito filling!)
Just the right amount of chilli kick. Lovely with a fresh salsa
You can't go wrong with a classic chilli con carne! We're pleased to hear that you found the heat level just right, and great idea to add some chunky chopped salsa on top for some freshness and contrast!
This is mild, succulent and delicious. It was even a hit with a 3 year old, so definitely family friendly.
This looks like the perfect taco filling - great to hear that it went down a treat with the whole family!
Very tasty. The 4/5 was purely down to the adaptations I had to make due to making with wheat free pancakes instead of wheat tortillas (due to a family members intolerance) so the texture was a bit softer. The filling and sauce were great. Filled with Carne Molida and topped with Cebollas Curtidas.
Great job adapting the recipe to make a gluten-free version - it certainly looks like a vibrant fiesta of flavours!
Very rich, but a fantastic flavour from the spice blend and the orange. Only needed a small pot to finish off the meal
There's no better way to finish off a Mexican (or any!) meal than with a decadent, chocolatey dessert! These look great, and we're loving the addition of the biscuits!
