Easy Mexican Recipes

What’s your favourite cuisine? I always find this a difficult question to answer – I love so many different cuisines: Greek, Middle Eastern, Italian and Spanish… But one of my all time favourites has to be Mexican food! 

Over the years I have created many delicious and easy peasy versions of Mexican classics – as well as a few Tex Mex dishes (I have an obsession with chilli con carne) and some Mexican fusion food too (Fajita pasta, I’m talking to you!). 

Here I’ve pulled together 19 of my all time favourite Mexican inspired recipes to share with you. I’m not promising authenticity (because when a traditional mole sauce takes a day to make, who has time for authenticity?!), but each of these recipes is easy, delicious and family friendly – which are the most important criteria for dinner IMHO!

For each recipe, I’ve included a link to the recipe, plus prep times, cook times and total times, so you can quickly and easily see which recipe suits your needs and the time available.

If you make one of these recipes (or, even better, discover a new family favourite!) I’d love to hear from you. Let me know in the comments below or via social media. I’m on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. ?

    As far as favorite cuisines are concerned, I ping-pong from Mexican to pan-Asian. This roundup has me craving Mexican food, though—perfect timing for Cinco de Mayo! Thanks for bringing to #CookBlogShare!

    wow what a fabulous collection I have a feeling I shall be making some of these. as for my favourite cuisine I just can not say I change my mind too often. But Mexican is definitely my eldest fav since he worked in a Mexican restaurant in sydney. Me I’m a chilli wimp

      Yay! So pleased you liked my collection 🙂 I must confess, I am a bit of a chilli wimp too and my kids don’t like their food too hot either, so I tend to focus on getting lots of spice into my Mexican food, but tone down the chilli. It’s easy for my hubby – who does like hot food to add a bit of extra chilli to his portion at the dinner table – so win-win all round 😀 Eb x

    Mexican wouldn’t have sprung to mind if you asked me for my favourite cuisine (i’d probably say Chinese), but when I see it all together, i’m reminded of how delicious Mexican dishes are. Now I just need to get my kids on board – they cried that last time I gave them enchiladas and fajitas! #cookblogshare

      Oh no! Why? Did they not like the spicyness??? My kids absolutely adore fajitas and enchiladas now (they are 8 and 10), but it did take them a while. I did used to make them very mild, but now they can handle sort of medium-ish. I use chilli flakes so it’s really easy to get the ‘hotness’ exactly right. Hope you manage to find a way to persuade them 😀 Eb x

    What an amazingly colourful collection, Mexican food is one of my favourite, I could eat chicken fajitas and salsa constantly. All these dishes look so appetising!

      Thanks Monika – you know me and how I love colourful food 😀 I am so with you on the eating chicken fajitas constantly – but I’d swap the salsa for guacamole…. I am totally obsessed with the stuff!! Eb x
