Lovely meal for 2 taken from the taco legend book
Excellent kit and makes lots of great dishes
Thanks for your kind words, we're so pleased to hear how much you love using your Taco Legend kit!
A beautiful meal. We made the Chicken Tinga alongside the Essential Carne Molida. We made the red salsa and essential black beans to go with it, and served up some salad too.
Sounds like a spec-taco-ular meal, glad you enjoyed it!
So tasty and SUPER easy! Our new Friday night regular!
Yum! This looks like a spec-taco-ular meal!
It's a gift so I can only comment on the transaction and presentation of the gift. For both of these I would give five stars. I chose this because my brother is a big fan of the curry spice mixes. And let's be honest, as a birthday gift from a mother-in-law it has to be up there amongst the best.....
Thanks for your spec-taco-ular feedback, happy spicing!
We love the dishes that can be produced from "How to be a Taco Legend". This is Albóndigas and Arroz Verde and are favourites in our household. They make a regular appearance when the grandchildren come. You can guarantee empty plates all round!
Yum! This looks like a spec-taco-ular meal!
Cooked on the fire, served with a jacket potato, sour cream and salsa Mexicana.
Yum this looks like a brilliant warming dinner - so cosy!
We had a Mexican feast including red cabbage, cochinita pabil,chicken tinga, salsa verde, salsa mexicana, essential guacamole - just fabulous!
YUM! This looks like a spec-taco-ular spread, a real fiesta!
Mexican flavoured kebabs is pure genius. A perfect fusion of cultures.
We're so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed these Mexican kebabs, influenced by Lebanese cuisine!
Love the flavour, love the textures and love the beauty of this perfect snack.
Looks like an avo-solutely delicious snack!
This was really tasty, made it with fresh beetroot. Served it with refried beans and salsa Mexican a.
YUM! This looks absolutely incredible, we think making this with fresh beetroot makes for a really un-beet-able meal!
I used the mole poblano slow cooker spice mix. It was so easy to throw together! Just chuck all the sauce ingredients in a jug and blend them up, then add to diced chicken in the slow cooker. Add a little chopped chocolate at the end and presto! I served it with arroz verde and cebollas curtidas from the Taco Legend kit, as well as some salad and salsas. It was an utterly delicious meal, full of rich, deep, well-rounded spices, with tender meat. The sides brought texture and freshness, and everything complemented each other brilliantly. There's enough left to freeze for another meal, and we're really looking forward to having it again.
Yum - looks like a magnificent Mole Poblano! It's great to hear how much you enjoyed this dish and the bright pink pickled onions look so pretty!
From the Taco legends recipe book, Adobo chicken tacos with essential guacamole, sour cream and Mexican salad veg! (I really want to win a tea towel
Looks like a spec-taco-ular dish! It's great to hear you think our new tea towels are tea-rific!
So easy to make, but so so good. A garlic lover's dream.
We agree this sauce is absolutely spec-taco-ular!
This is a great recipe. The chicken is still succulent and the super crispy coating is amazing! Thanks Spicery.
It's great to hear you enjoyed this marvellous Masa fried chicken!
Really tasty, so easy to make and even easier to eat. A lovely weekday meal. Thanks guys for another little gem of dish.
It's great to hear how much you enjoyed this rich and tangy dish!
This is my favourite Spicery recipe and I can't stop making it. It's very low prep time and effort, and is ready in less than ten minutes so it's easy to whip up as a snack or if people come over. I often just eat it as a dip with tortilla chips but it's been really good in burritos/tacos and went particularly well with haggis nachos.
We have to agree this recipe is pretty 'grate' and brie-liant!
Super tasty. Went down a treat. My boyfriend even said he wanted to take a picture to show his friend how lucky he was. Essential Mex Salad completed the dish perfectly.
Looks absolutely delicious and a great combination with the salad for a really fresh dish!
Another recipe, another new technique learned! Never "pre-charred" chillis, garlic or tomatoes in a pan before but another fantastic element of The Spicery is not just the appreciation of flavours but also new ways to prepare food. I made it a little too watery so will have to try again as a thicker salsa. Lovely and spicy, Chipotle is one of my favourite blends!!
It's great to hear you're really enjoying this brilliant blend and learning a new technique too!
They might look very amateur, but they tasted great! Kids loved them. Made with half white/half wholemeal flour. So much fresher than shop-bought and made easily around a Tex-Mex tea. Just need to work on my shapes and rolling!
We think these tortillas look spec-taco-ular, don't worry about getting too 'wrapped' up in the shape - as long as they taste great!
