Mexican food is loved by everyone I know but most use those prepacked packages you buy from the store. Sure, they’re easy, they’re convenient, and, you know they are going to taste the same every time you make them.

How about you mix it up and start to make your own? It’s more cost effective, you know what’s in it, and you can tweak it to suit your family’s preferences. The home made tortillas are fantastic and taste so much better than the store bought ones. If you’re family would prefer beef to chicken you could always use chilli con carne or my Mexican mince as the fillings instead.
