So tasty we chose chicken and chorizo. The flavour was great and we combined it with a Red Onion Salsa and Chipotle Mayo Crema. We will be making this again definitely our favourite chicken taco filling so far!

Absolutely loved this taco dish. Loads of indulgent spice flavours and plenty of saltiness from the chorizo and bacon added. The cheese helped bring it together and I paired it with homemade (rustic looking) flour tortillas. Lovely.

Have made this simple quick and easy recipe twice now and found it brilliant. The first time we had it with Corn tortillas, sour cream with chives and Salsa. Last night we tried it with the Charro Beans recipe on page 196, but changing one of the tins of cannelline beans with baked beans. Also made a side of boiled Jersey Royals cut into wedges, sprayed with a light oil and cooked in the oven. The combination was a delightful meal enjoyed by all the family.

Absolutely love this! Love the smokey flavours, soft sweet peppers and smothered with mozzarella. This is quite a regular meal in our house, quick, easy and absolutely delicious.
