Mexican meals for every summer celebration!

So we’ve compiled some of the best recipes that whatever the occasion, something delicious is ready for you to enjoy – and to truly get your summer fiesta started!  

 

New Years Eve

Before the countdown starts, enjoy the last meal of the year. Dress your table up with Mexican inspired décor: colourful tablecloths, flowers, candles and wooden share platters. On the menu, serve some Whole Grain Soft Tacos with Fish Lime and Green Sour Cream paired with a leafy green salad. Trust us, after this delicious meal, the main event of New Years Eve will have already been done.

New Years Day

New year, new favourite recipe. These Quick & Easy 10 Minute Soft Tacos with BBQ Chicken & Slaw are just the thing for those who are feeling… a little under the weather from to much fiesta-ing the night before. Healthy, quick and easy to whip up (just like the name says) is reason enough to celebrate these tacos in the New Year. You can even use the chicken the night before, so all you’ll have left to do is wrap it in crunchy slaw and that’s dinner done!

Australia Day

We know, we know – what does Mexican have to do with Australia Day? Well, as BBQs are a must on January 26, why not throw something a little different on there, like these BBQ Pork Soft Tacos with Creamy Red Jalapeno Dressing and Baby Kale Slaw. They’re bound to be a winner, so if you’re over sausages, go a little Mexican on Australia Day.
