dann2707 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Cheers !! Well that one above just says "taco spice mix". i'd want to make my own I think. Wish i lived in america where they have taco places. Is that what the taco mix is, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika? Sounds about right yeah? I love cooking Edited October 12, 2011 by dann2707 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Shucksmith Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Most recipes include onion powder as well but yah, something like that I haven't actually had tacos since September-ish last year.

Revolver Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yes. You can use taco mix, then the process is mince, peppers, tomatoes, mix, serve, eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 It kinda sucks really, as I love trying new foods, will give anything a try. And I love cooking. But yet most nights I simply just stick chips and chicken in the oven or something really bland. I need some SPICE in my LIFE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Cook then, buy chicken and mince and tomatoes and peppers and a pile of spices, you can do a lot with just those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I'm going to the shops after my dinner, going to make this as my tea or midnight snack. Opting for this recipe, boiling instead of frying, loads of 5star reviews. Why not http://www.food.com/recipe/ground-beef-burritos-337301?mode=metric&scaleto=4.0&st=null Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsieurMonkey Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 You shouldn't boil any meat you disgusting animal. Mince = Lasagne, f**k your Mexican bean eater shit. Get on the Italian.

Miss-Higgy Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Boiling mince is a lot healthier, and if you want to add a bit of lea and perrins pepper salt, and a pinch of chilli powder, the meat is really good but your meal becomes all one flavor. Its down to preference. Personally fried with lots of pepper and some tobasco for hot dishes and lea perrins for the rest Make your own salsa to go with its soooo easy!! Get one or two tins of chopped tomato's or about 10 fresh tomato's. One large onion (chopped fine) A sweet pepper (color is your own choice) One or two small red chilli's ^^ (depending on heat preference) (you can add some avocado if available for texture purposes) Cumin, Chilli Powder, Coriander, Thyme, and some salt and pepper. Reduce the tomato's, and start adding herbs to preference (keep tasting to make sure you don't add too much) Meanwhile fry your onions, and add peppers and avocado quite late in the process so they retain flavor and texture. (No one likes slop...) Takes no more than an hour to do and a brilliant touch to any Mexican dish Baked Beans in a chilli as well as kidney or mixed.. (not telling my other secret chilli ingredient, OT bacon in a spag bol or lasange is well good! Edited October 14, 2011 by ch@v3tt3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Can tell youve been well trained !! Thanks for that. Might do them again tonight. the boiled version was really really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 If you put bacon in lasagne i swear to god i will find you, and i will rip your un-holy face off! Yeah, you really shouldn't do that. Basically.....bolognase don't really exist as such. in Italy it's called Ragu (yeah that shit Dutch sauce hasn't done much for the name) and pancetta is a staple ingredient of that dish. Rashers like we have here don't exist over there, so it's the little cubes of goodness that are used. So in essence - you keep using bacon in lasagne and i will make sure it's the last thing you do. If you put it in Bolognase (Ragu) then i will sing your highest praises to Berlusconi himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
