This past September my husband and I had the pleasure of travelling to Mexico where we enjoy some authentic tacos. There is nothing which I love more than a VERY good taco, with strong flavours and some HEAT I love taco when they’re done right.
Making tacos at home is a no-brainer, with 6 people in the house Tacos is the one dish I know everyone will enjoy. Not long ago I had the pleasure of being an Old El Paso brand ambassador and had the opportunity to try out many of their products. I share my thoughts and recipes such as:
Hearing that Old El Paso has come out with a new premium Restaurante product line has me excited. The Restaurante line is brand spanking new and brings authentic Mexican flavours in their Baja Fish, Steak Carne Asada and Chicken Tinga choices, all of which can have us feeling like a #MexicanChef in our own homes.
This week we made the Chicken Tinga and I must say it was FANTASTIC! On the front of each box you see a slider which indicates the HEAT level and the chicken is the highest of the 3 which was perfect for this family. We like our flavours bold and a bit of heat doesn’t hurt!
Making the kit was super simple, they have very easy to follow instructions printed right on the back of the packaging and even lists the toppings which Old El Paso considers a match. The kit contains the seasoning mix, 10 flour tortillas and matching sauce. For the Chicken Tinga they suggested lettuce, cilantro and avocado but we opted for lettuce and cheddar. We did enjoy the Southwest sauce which was in the kit.
