Bringing the world to your working kitchen, Mexico
For this week’s culinary journey, we are heading to Mexico! Back in 2015 The Guardian reported a 71% increase of Mexican restaurants across the UK, led by brands such as Wahaca and Barburrito.
Over the last five years burrito chains have opened an average 57% more outlets per year compared to a 16% annual rise in posh burger joints over the same period, according to a report by property advisory firm CBRE and data company Retail Locations. Just over a third of Brits have now visited a Mexican or TexMex, making it the fourth most popular ethnic food, behind Indian, Chinese and Thai takeaways.
From a classic Mexican chilli to a spiced dessert, we have gathered a selection of our favourite recipes using our new Dark Mexican Style Seasoning from our Street Food Chef range:
